"war is like an infection, Lieutenant, one that cannot be stopped from spreading." Mark Louis Baumgart Captain Midnight started off as a radio adventure serial that ran from 1938-1949 and was also the subject of a tv series, a comic book, and a movie serial. Oh yeah, I've heard of him, but I've never been exposed to any of his materials, so all of the following stories had to rise or fall on their own merit. These stories seem to be based on an amalgamate of all of the previously mentioned incarnations of Captain Midnight, and while there is no noticeable timeline, the stories seem to range from the mid-thirties through the late forties. The cast of these stories all have Captain Midnight, a. k. a.. Pretty good job on all the Midnight tales Kindle Customer This is a rare case in which you come out knowing and enjoying the character more than you did going in. Pretty good job on all the Midnight tales. Kudos.
