Virgil Erath is on death row for a crime he didn't commit. But he gets a new beginning when he is mystically transported to a planet of hallucinatory landscapes, warring humanoid races, and a cloud-filled sky that has never seen the sun. Its inhabitants of this world call it Amtor--others have called it "Venus."

Captured by a clan of winged warriors, Virgil is brought before the great Jong Kum Kloojong. But this "king of kings" is under attack by a deadly terrorist sect, and Virgil may be his only hope of saving Amtor from an apocalyptic war.
