It took only a couple of days, but I have shifted from my prior decision on what story’s going to be presented here on my Substack. By and large, I’m a fantasy and horror storyteller, with only a couple of science fiction tales to my name. Well, one of those sci-fi stories is now going to make its way to you here, ladies and gentlemen! And I’d like to think that my timing on this one is ideal; as Disney’s MCU starts coming into trouble and losing steam, perhaps it’s time for a different kind of superhero/supervillain story.
What happens when a retired mad scientist, using his knowledge of climate sciences, comes to realize that all the warnings about the threat to the polar ice caps are accurate? Furthermore, what happens when he tries to suggest that the government use one of his old devices to reverse the damage, only to be roundly ignored because of his past?
In the coming days, you’ll have the chance to find out as you join me in the presentation of “Righteous Tyrant”, a sci-fi/comic bookish send-up by yours truly!
