Flash Gordon is grounded! With Mongo now an impossible distance away, and Earth's governments reacting to the potential dangers of alien worlds, space travel is now reserved to the experts...and a former football player-turned-sword-wielding rabble rouser isn't making the cut. But when a huge object--a meteor? a planet?--appears on a collision path with Earth, Flash will leave the 'experts' in the dust. With a bootleg spaceship courtesy of Doctor Zarkov and fiery backup in the form of Dale Arden, Flash blasts off on an intercept course. But the Earth Rocketry Administration isn't far behind--and astronaut Dane 'Ditch' Albright is not about to let Flash Gordon steal his spotlight. A rivalry for the ages, a new alien world, and threats deadlier than ever--adventure awaits for fans new and old!
