Plot Summary[]
Outraged by the killing of his brother by Ithaqua, psychic Texan Hank Silberhutte gathers a team together to try and find a way to permanently defeat or destroy the Wind Walker. Whilst en route in an aircraft, Hank and his team are swept to a world ruled by Ithaqua, and a planetary romance-style adventure unfolds.
Absent Titus Crow and friends, the action is of the two-fisted pulp variety, complete with an alien princess as ally.
