Synopsis[]

Finding himself floating above Earth, disoriented, Phil Seleski returns home, only to find another him in his apartment! Confused, he departs to stop a prison riot and raise a damaged Soviet nuclear sub. But, strangely, it seems the world isn't ready for a super-being doing good deeds. Finally realizing he has somehow come back through time, Phil cannot remember how. But he knows he's repressing a memory too terrible to bear!^[1]
