A NOTE TO MY GENTLE READERS
Michael Edwards, aka various AKAs, is essentially a spiritual cousin of the character Oliver Chadwick Gardenier. If he’d been raised in a ghetto in the modern era in foster care and there weren’t things that go bump in the night. He has Chad’s smarts and smart ass as well as his redoubtable fighting skills, though he’s a bit taller. So, you may see some resemblance.
This is a universe which very much mimics our own with the exception of a few changes, notably superheroes and some of the effects they’ve had. The Nebraska Killer killed Al Gore during the 2000 election, which just gave the Left another reason to hate Bush.
Everything else is real. The names have been changed to protect the innocent. The guilty can go to hell.
