Catalog Description "Buck Rogers in the Twenty-Fifth Century" by Phil Nowlan and Dick Calkins presents the protagonist's origin and introduction to the 25th century. Buck Rogers, a World War I pursuit pilot, becomes trapped in a radioactive mine and enters suspended animation, awakening five hundred years later. The story details his encounter with Wilma Deering, a soldier on air patrol equipped with advanced technology, whom he rescues from armed pursuers using her plasma-based weapon. Buck learns that gravity has been conquered through inertron, a synthetic element with reverse weight that enables individuals to make spectacular 60-90 foot leaps. The 25th-century society features women in full military roles, electronically-treated uniforms adapting to climate conditions, and various advanced weaponry. Buck begins military service under Wilma's instruction in using the jumping belt, establishing their partnership for future adventures in this technologically transformed world.
