All signs point to a volcanic eruption, save for the sound of giant wings clapping in the darkness. John Strock, Chief Inspector of the federal police, is given the task of solving the Great Eyrie's mysteries, but the events following his assignment start him on a course of discovery that is both awe inspiring and fiendishly dangerous. For Strock finds himself in a deadly game of hide and seek with the world's most wanted man, the self-proclaimed Master of the World, and his amazing machine-the Terror. …The future is terror!
