Voltage: A Rising Hero Novella

By Nicholas Park

*VOLTAGE is the debut novella from fifteen-year-old Nicholas Park.* Sixteen-year-old Carter Gabriels has nothing. He lost his parents when he was eleven, his city has become a wasteland of crime, and he's scraping by with a low-paying job and a pretty unhappy life. He simply wants things to get better. He's trying. But when a new drug hits the streets, Carter gets caught up in a dark world and gains the power to manipulate electricity. A power that could enable him to battle his city's darkness. Damone Harris' wife is dying of cancer, and he's in desperate need of money. He accepts a job from business tycoon Michael Hoffman and takes charge of distributing a drug that claims to elevate all levels of human capacity. When an accident gives Damone beyond-human powers, he finds new strength...but begins to lose his mind. Will he become a puppet to Michael? Or something far worse to mankind? It's up to Carter to save the city and defeat Damone and Michael. However, he must also deal with his own tormented psyche and the mysterious death of his parents...
