Born in Fire

Over twenty years ago, a comet struck the Earth just outside the town of Pederson, Illinois. There were 113 children in utero when the flash hit, and every one of them was affected, gaining extraordinary super-powers as they grew older.

The people of the world, initially worried by what the children might become when they reached adulthood, now fear what they will do with the powers they've gained – and who might suffer should the "rising stars" start to think they could run the world better.
