\nVirgil Erath is on death row for a crime he didn\u2019t 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\u2014others have called it \u201cVenus.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Captured by a clan of winged warriors, Virgil is brought before the great Jong Kum Kloojong. But this \u201cking of kings\u201d is under attack by a deadly terrorist sect, and Virgil may be his only hope of saving Amtor from an apocalyptic war.<\/em><\/p>\n
