Twenty-one-year-old Cooper Galt – “Coop” – is adrift. College? ...sorta. Job? ...kinda. Romance? ...nope.
Coop works as a tech in his father’s defense research company. An accident leaves Coop with the ability to run — to REALLY run — so fast he can approach the speed of light. So fast his street clothes burn off his body. So fast he can vibrate through walls. What does his old high school chum Malorie think he should do with this new-found ability? She thinks he should become the famous comic book character The Streak and serve Mankind. Coop would rather enter the Olympics and sign endorsement deals. But The Ghost has ideas of his own, and he can run pretty fast himself. And steal. And murder. Can Coop finally commit to doing something, or will The Ghost triumph over The Streak?
Genre: Science Fiction
