The Power Thief

Seventeen-year-old Marcus Chen was supposed to be humanity's next cosmic genius. When aliens gifted Earth their Cognitive Enhancement System, Marcus tested perfectly for the program that would transform teenagers into super-intelligent beings capable of space travel and dimensional thinking.But Marcus's enhancement failed. While his classmates gained incredible mental abilities, he remained frustratingly, embarrassingly human.Until he accidentally touched his best friend Sarah and stole her powers with a single touch.Now Marcus discovers he's not broken - he's something far more dangerous. He can absorb and redistribute any enhanced ability by physical contact. But each theft comes with a terrible cost: the more power he steals, the less human he becomes.As Marcus uncovers the dark truth about the alien "gift" and learns what really happened to the extinct Xerion civilization, he realizes he might be humanity's only hope against a cosmic deception that threatens to strip away everything that makes them human.In a world where being enhanced means everything, the boy who was "defective" might be the only one who can save them all.
