The "original" adventures of the pulp science fiction character Captain Proton, reverse engineered from a Star Trek Voyager Holodeck character. The book attempts to recreate the format and style of pulp era SF magazines, complete with "letters to Captain Proton", parodic "feature articles", short stories and parts of a serial.

"The Planets of the Future" and "The City of the Future" are in-universe essays. "Letters to Captain Proton" are ostensibly written by fans of "Captain Proton" and were written by Dean Wesley Smith.
