Presents continuing saga of Blade and modern man's continuing exploits in uncharted world. Blade is Everyman and mighty intrepid warrior battling man, beast, and forces unnamed. In this twenty-ninth volume, Blade is thrust into an advanced civilization where lions glide across treetop and flying machines soar through the skies, as he again fights for survival in Dimension X. Blade's daring rescue of the beautiful but ethereal Riyannah is his first startling contact with the planet's race. But Riyannah turns out to be an envoy to Targa from the utopian planed Kanan. Planet Targa, which has run out of natural resources, is ruled by a Hitler like dictator, who intends to conquer interstellar space, then loot and pillage resources from other planets. Racing against time, Blade unites with Riyannah and Targa's underground forces to prevent the dictator's first space flight-but will their small army be able to keep the formidable Targans out of space until the dictatorship is overthrown?
