A young man, just 17 years old, suddenly finds women mysteriously attracted to him when he visits New Orleans for Spring Break with his family. He acts as a catalyst, activating strange abilities in them that he doesn't understand. He’s not ready for the responsibilities of adulthood, yet he’s called upon to lead a string of followers. Where, he has no idea.
There are no superheros or world saving in this book, it’s character and not action based, more an examination of people’s reactions and what is involved in building a movement from the ground up.
The story is newly revised from the original, part of a six book series.
Note: I’ve adopted several conventions for this story. One is that the fictional biographer’s speach is always marked with italics. Also, telepathic communication is designated with boht italics and single quotes, thus, ‘This is a sample of telepathy,’ whereas "This is normal speech".
