"Solarman is the story of a superhero whose adventures are as exciting as the ones you see on television or in the movies. But he is a bit different from the others because he has a message to give-a message about solar energy. What he wants to tell us, in fact, is so important that it could mean the life or death of our planet Earth. Davos, who is called Solarman when he becomes a great baseball player, is always on the move. He rides in rockets and solar cars, plays baseball and gets involved in the CIA, travels to Los Angeles, Washington, and Spain." -- Page 4 of cover
