"Completely shameless and obsessed with wealth and fame, 25th century thrill seeker Michael Jon Carter decided to build his future in the past. Armed with a flight ring, force field and other weapons "borrowed" from the Space Museum, Carter travels back to the twentieth century and uses his knowledge of things to come to build an empire, which funds his super-heroic activities as Booster Gold. Offending the heroic community with his unabashed self-promotion, Booster becomes his own kind of adventurer -- but that's not necessarily a good thing. Fame and fortune come at a price -- a lesson Booster Gold will learn the hard way. When it's time to pay those dues, will Michael Carter remain a scoundrel, or become a true hero?"--P. [4] of cover.
