Publisher’s description

Curtis Metcalf is a brilliant inventor who was recruited into lifetime servitude by corrupt industrialist Edwin Alva. After realizing his employer's true nature and recognizing that he is "too big" for the proper authorities, Metcalf takes on Alva's criminal empire under the guise of the high-tech vigilante known as Hardware.
