This book makes me wish I was a pyrokinetic, because, come on, that's just really cool. This is one of the stories that shows King's general disdain for the government, or at least government experiments and the muscle men that oversee them. It's actually a recurring theme in his literature. This one involves people who participated in an experiment. They hooked up afterward, and procreated. The girl emerging from that union had really special powers, and it's about her trying to get away from the agents pursuing her. The story is enjoyable, but I didn't consider it SK's most well-written work. However, that does not mean it isn't worth a read.
