Small decisions can trigger cosmic consequences.... Twenty-three-year-old Russ Martin is the kind of guy who learned to drive a tractor before he learned to drive a car. Now he sells hiking equipment and owns a Glock—and he’s about to discover that little decisions can spark world-changing consequences. After Russ falls in love with a sensitive space artist named Lia, they get married, which drives his depressed ex-girlfriend to commit suicide. Devastated by grief and remorse over his past decisions, Russ has little time to come to terms with Emma’s death as a massive purple bubble appears in the sky. Sparkly and delicate-looking, it affects people’s emotions while satellites explode against it on impact—effects that only escalate as the bubbles multiply. As scientists race against the clock to discover what is causing this unusually sentient phenomena, people either get absorbed into the bubbles or disappear—never to be seen again. Unusually, the bubbles only absorb people who continually performed some kind of exceptionally good deed. As Russ and Lia work to understand the increasing amount of purple bubbles, can they face a realization that could bring them closer together—or split them apart forever? **
