Harlowe is surfing in the South Pacific with his little brother, Dodger, when Riverstone calls in a panic from the Omni Prime quadrant. All life on the planet Gazz is about to be wiped out by a
lethal gamma ray burst in 11 days. According to Wiz, saving the planet with Millawanda's force field is "slam dunk." The plan was going smoothly until hostile forces dropped out of hyperspace,
moments before the deadly rays struck. Battling two forces at once, "Millie" still saves the planet, but at a cost: her power is sucked dry! Unable to maintain orbit, Millawanda plunges into
the planet's ocean. Adding to their peril, Riverstone, Lu and Sizzle have vanished and second gamma ray burst will hit the planet in 37 days! There is a source of thermo-grym to bring back
Millie, but Gazz is a 16th century planet of wind-powered ships and slithering beasts called "Traas." In a race against time, Harlowe must borrow and commandeer a pirate ship to find the yellow
crystals that will power Millawanda back to life before the crew, his girl, the planet and his own life are lost...
