Volume 9 - 1st printing.

Story and art by Mamoru Nagano. English adaptation by John Wisnom.

The story shifts scene to the Kastenpo region on the planet Both, a rather desolate mining area along the Dragon Road and a training cum vacation spot for headliners, their fatimas, groupies and whatever. The events center around the region's newest visitor, the upstanding cleric/knight Muse Van Reyback, and its most notorious resident, the renegade Dougulus Kaien. After a chance meeting of the two under less than cordial conditions, Reyback drops into a bar recommended to him by none other than Voards Viewlard (remember him?), and is told about the latest exploits of Kaien, the Silver Knight. It seems that four months previous, Kaien, the most wanted man in the Galaxy, infiltrated a military base connected with metorotekchrome, the metal for forging mortar head swords, to collect intelligence. He was spotted, and during the ensuing escape, his fatima Auxo was blown to bits. Saving her, particularly her memory, is left up to Dr. Ballanche's protege Prisen Corks. Kaien's stunt does not go unnoticed, as the local Republic of U-Thu sends a mortar headd force, led by a rather disgusting chap Meiyu Sukat, to launch a "take no prisoners" attack on the village of migrant miners and anti-government guerillas where Kaien sought refuge and was taken captive by the mysterious woman leading the guerillas.

Softcover, 9 1/2-in. x 11 1/2-in., 96 pages, B&W.

NOTE: These are Japanese manga-style GNs and are meant to be read right-to-left.
