This is where it begins. The first stories. The first author.
Cyber Age Adventures creator Frank Fradella lays the groundwork for every story that follows in this fantastic volume. Meet the Core Heroes of the Cyber Age Universe as well as behind-the-scenes "liner notes" from the author, describing his inspirations, his plans and more.
Here's some excerpts...
It began, as it so often did, with a scream. And, as it did countless times before, the scream was followed by the sound of running feet and the small, almost imperceptible fear that this time he may be too late.
Taut muscles coiled and released and hurled him into motion with a grace that some called unearthly, his breathing easing in and out of his powerful lungs with casual ease. Even his heart, too big for its own good, and too feeling, showed no sign of the underlying tiny fear as it pumped vital oxygen to his limbs.
But in his mind there was none of these things. Nothing but the chase and the quarry. Nothing but concern for the victim. No distractions at all to the compelling need for justice.

I'm going to tell you what happened.
But I'm going to tell you in the way it should be told. Not as a reporter. Not this time. What happened to the Minuteman ... it shouldn't be reduced to a bunch of names and dates.
It shouldn't be so... detached.
So I'm writing this, nursing my third scotch, listening to the rain patter against the glass of my apartment windows and knowing it will probably never see print. But it needs to be told. It's too important to be left to the tabloids.
I'll tell you about the Minuteman.
