Welcome to Modern Knights.
If we bother to look for them we can always find heroes. The honest cop on the street, the fire fighter, & the emergency medic are always with us. Everyone, no matter their age, needs a hero, or two. Children need them even more. Real or imaginary, heroes lift our spirits even after we think we've out grown them.
Middle aged adults continued to thank Clayton Moore until the day he died. Why? Because he gave them a hero to look up to as children, and a hero to remember in later years.
Heroes were hard to find in the late 1960's and early 1970's. I'm thankful my children had heroes while they grew up. Jedi Knights, the Dukes of Hazard County, and even Duck Tales' feathered adventurers gave them characters to dream about and emulate.
Here I offer my own heroes. Modern Knights in the tradition of the pulp heroes from yesteryear's magazines, radio dramas, and chapter-plays.
The first offering is ready. More will come.

Plutonium Nightmare
The time is the spring of 1980. A shadowy figure known only as 'The Man' orchestrated a raid on the Breeder Reactor of the Hardin Nuclear Power Plant. He planned for every possible contingency, to include leading the police around in circles. He paid of his hired muscle, the H-8 Consortium, with an Atom Bomb made from the loot. 'The Man' prepares to auction off 70 kilos of plutonium enriched nuclear fuel secure in the belief that he has covered every contingency.
'The Man' has never heard of The Voice, first of a new generation of Independent Operators. Wearing many faces, The Voice deals himself into the game. Using his father's gas gun, his own throwing knives, and lots of raw fire power, The Voice will do whatever it takes to put the radioactive genie back in the bottle.
