Synopsis

Roundfirelegends.net presents a four-story collection about the Vancouver superhero known as "The Hastings Watchman". Follow young reporter Jake as he teams up with the Vancity vigilante to face such fearsome foes as The Hooded Killer, The Hipster, The Freak and...uh...the new intern.

In the first story, greenhorn journalist Jake Dunlop investigates the disappearances of some of the Lower East Side's homeless, only to discover business mogul Axel Benjamin may not be as clean as the city of Vancouver thinks. A vigilante named the Hastings Watchman is lurking in the night. But so is a hooded killer named...The Hooded Killer.

In the second story, Jake is back, only this time he is bored out of his tree, covering the election campaigns in Vancouver. Things start to get spicier than fall latte's when a hipster by the name of The Hipster kidnaps Jake's date, a doctor named Susan Drake, and forces her to administer a secret drug that results in invincibility. The Watchman returns to subdue the Hipster, revealing secrets of his past in the process. This election, there are two choices--live, or die!

In the third story, Jake learns from the new intern about an environmental scandal at the hands of Axel Benjamin and he and the Watchman attempt to expose the crime boss once and for all. But when a man-lizard freak known only as The Freak washes up on the shores of Vancouver's English Bay, the Watchman is forced into another fight he may not have the strength to walk away from!

In the fourth story, Jake is injected with the Rejuvicell and takes on the role of the Watchman to put an end to the Freak's murderous rampage. With Susan by his side, they battle Axel Benjamin, the Freak, and a titanium alloy exoskeleton controlled by a scorned, vindictive intern with revenge on the brain. The stakes are high and the odds are against him, but an unsuspected ally might help even the score.This series is part of the early works of gritty, urban author Gregory Patrick Travers.
