Rough Passages: From The Rollover Files

When getting older means gaining superpowers, your midlife crisis might mean trying to prove you won’t cause a global disaster.

Superpowered grandmothers, courageous Marines, and extraordinary teens: welcome to a reality where every midlife crisis might become a national emergency.

A third of the world's population carries the potential to "roll into power." No one can predict which few will actually go through the change, but there's one, tragic certainty: rolling before the age of forty is a death sentence.

​​​​​​​Passing into middle age might be uneventful, marked by one more candle on a birthday cake, or it might lead to becoming a human fireball, drowning a city, or teleporting into outer space.

​​​​​​​Rough Passages connects eight stories of people forever changed by the powers that disrupt their lives:

• ​​​​​​​ A single mother with two jobs whose new talent improves her life beyond her wildest dreams.

• ​​​​​​​A Marine captain tasked with investigating crimes committed by a squad of super-soldiers.

• ​​​​​​​A grandmother, torn from home and family, abused and imprisoned, who must choose between revenge and forgiveness.

• ​​​A teenager afraid to take the R-factor test that will define her future, who learns there are worse things to fear than a positive result.
