    Against All Evil: Old-Time Radio-Style Serial Adventures
    • This collection features adventures inspired by classic characters from the 1930s to the '50s, who triumphed over evil foes, reminiscent of superheroes like Batman and Captain Marvel. The "Against All Evil" stories revolve around Max and Lena Manus (The Intruders, Tale of the Scorpion, Hijinks Underground). Max, a retired scientist, accidentally unlocks superpower energy systems rooted in human genetics. His wife, Lena, a resourceful former CIA assassin, uses her skills to protect Max's secret from malevolent forces seeking to exploit it. Their discovery enables them to harness extraordinary physical and mental powers beyond those of ordinary humans. In Undercover Agent, Karla Hammer, a physically handicapped, homeless woman, showcases remarkable resourcefulness and strength of character. Her intelligence and determination allow her to navigate life-threatening situations as an FBI undercover agent, proving her heroism rivals that of traditional superheroes. Meanwhile, in Jack and Storm, set in a distant future, the protagonists confront prejudice and social rejection, ultimately discovering their true natures. Their dormant capabilities emerge when survival is at stake, leading them to acceptance and respect in a new world inhabited by genetically humanized wolves.
