    About this ebook

    In the hideous aftermath of the atomic sunburst, the people of Sorrel Park had been written off. Now they were nothing but a kind of human garbage, festering and hopeless.

    In the center of town lived the worst of them -- and by far the most dangerous. A new breed of children, possessed of terrifying supernormal powers. A race of monsters bred out of the sunburst.

    And if they ever broke loose, they could destroy the world...

      This is the first science fiction book I every read. During my Senior year in high school, a friend loaned me her copy. I was hooked! I had never been a reader of fiction, non fiction was my thing. Image my delight in discovering that there was a science fiction section in my local library! Every time I read this book it delights me.
