The Adrenaline Man is Roger Burlington, a fellow whose adrenal glands are three times the normal size. When he is faced with danger, the adrenaline dump makes him stronger and faster than an average person. He discovers this when at a traffic light he suddenly leaps forward and saves a young woman from being hit by a speeding car. They become friends. Later when four thugs attack her, she is again rescued by Roger. Someone is trying to kill her. The police become involved and the case is solved. Except...the killer works for a Columbian drug cartel which is shipping ten tons of cocaine through Texas. Now things get worse. Following the novella are sixteen short stories on crime, romance, western, and science fiction. Examples: Stalker Defense - Jessica realizes she is being stalked at the mall. The security guard does nothing. Later at home, the stalker reappears. The Trouble with Twins - Charles falls for Margaret but she has an identical twin sister who hates him. Grit pays off - Zeke kills a ranch owner, expecting to marry his daughter and acquire the ranch. But a stranger shows up. Space Critter - Ksenos takes off the planet Uranus in his spacecraft for a short trip. But its engine fails and the craft begins to fall towards the sun. Then earth...s gravity pulls it into the sea off the California coast. What happens to Ksenos?
