A 2018 novel by S.R.MacColl about a man named Samson MacDale who lived an ordinary and boring life. Until one day a mugging gone wrong reveals that he has super powers. While this may seem like a bonus and a plus it leads Sam down a road of peril and danger as he meets similar super powered people (Known in universe as Glitchers), finds out there are monsters out to kill him and that there is a rogue Glitcher who's targeting current glitchers.What could go wrong?
