When devastating tidal waves begin striking the Atlantic seaboard with suspicious regularity, the Skyman springs into action to save lives—but his investigation uncovers something far more sinister than a natural disaster. Teaming up with his college friend Chubby Weeks, the airborne hero traces the source to a hidden floating island and its creator's diabolical scheme, only to find himself outmatched by a weapon of pure electrical fury. Now recovering from a near-fatal encounter, the Skyman must devise a counter-measure before the extortionist's grip tightens on the nation.
