Avengers of the Moon

It was an age of miracles. It was an era of wonder. It was a time of troubles. It was all these things and more... except there were no heroes. Naturally, one had to be created. Curt Newton has spent most of his life hidden from the rest of humankind, being raised by a robot, an android, and the disembodied brain of a renowned scientist. This unlikely trio of guardians has kept his existence a closely guarded secret since the murder of Curt's parents. Curt's innate curiosity and nose for trouble inadvertently lead him into a plot to destabilize the Solar Coalition and assassinate the president. There's only one way to uncover the evil mastermind - Curt must become Captain Future. With the permission of the Edmond Hamilton estate, Allen Steele revives the exciting adventures of Captain Future. "Allen Steele makes you young again in AVENGERS OF THE MOON. A rollicking Golden Age Sci-Fi good time." [David Brin] "Ed Hamilton, Allenm and Captain Future. All favorities of mine and, I believe, a lot more readers ready to discover what made Planet Stories a monthly treat." [James Gunn]  If you want intelligently done, scientifically scrupulous (well, nearly) space opera, old-style and hot off the griddle, this is it. [Gregory Benford] "A wonderful combination of nostalgic space opera, humor, and contemporary storytelling." [Galaxy's Edge] "Steele combines the charm of those classic swashbuckling space adventures many of us grew up on with questions about artificial intelligence and space colonization that we face today." [Amazing Stories]
