Brightly colored spheres have begun to appear on Earth; when "burned," they give humans enhanced abilities. After high schooler Sully is cheated out of a valuable Cherry Red by businessman Alex Holliday, he joins forces with tough sphere-hunter Hunter, whose actions mistakenly lead to an unimaginable horror being unleashed. Three parts heist and one part alien invasion, this is an exciting, fast-paced sci-fi thriller.
