March of the Firebugs

Paperback (CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform Dec. 20, 2016) , First Edition edition
Bizarre things have been happening to fifteen-year-old Rook. Strangers chased him through downtown. Strange kids and their pets froze him with magic. The TV keeps turning on and off when an odd blue lizard scurried past the electronics. Then one night a fiery swarm of supernatural scarab firebugs set fire to the house. He meets a mentor, who can control time. He learns about plasma, phasma, animal embodiments of energy that can be tamed by people and can live in objects or even metallic tattoos. Tracing the insects’ origin to another world of gears and steam by means of a wonderful balloon ship called Cobblecog, Rook hunts for his estranged father and discovers the secrets of his heritage. He must discover who he is as well as find the courage to overcome his fears. Can Rook halt the spread of the Firebugs before everything he knows is destroyed?
