A very smart, funny, thrilling, and quite original science fictional treatment of magic by a master of both, featuring an irresistibly appealing heroine. Spider Robinson, Hugo and Nebula Awardwinning author

Monsters are real.
But so are heroes.

Sparks are champions of weird science. Boasting capes and costumes and amazing super-powers that only make sense if you dont think about them too hard, they fight an eternal battle for truth and justice . . . mostly.

Darklings are creatures of myth and magic: ghosts, vampires, were-beasts, and the like. Their very presence warps reality. Doors creak at their approach. Cobwebs gather where they linger.

Kim Lam is an ordinary college student until a freak scientific accident (what else?) transforms Kim and three housemates into Sparksand drafts them into the never-ending war between the Light and Dark. They struggle to master their new abilitiesand (of course) to design cool costumes and come up with great hero-names.

Turns out that accident was just the first salvo in a Mad Geniuss latest diabolical scheme. Now its up to four newbie heroes to save the day, before they even have a chance to figure out what their teams name should be!

Snappy dialog, madcap action, and real suspense. Cory Doctorow
