by Joe Martino When Officer Tom Wyatt's wife, Janice, was murdered, he tried to find solace in his own grief and despair. He attempted to end his own life. Instead he found himself transported to a ship orbiting the Earth. The aliens aboard explained that he could not kill himself for he was the last of a chosen line. A family line which possessed the perfect genetic imprint to receive the 'gift of power' and become a third holy man of Isht. So after hearing the story of Isht and his family, Tom agreed to take the power. In a painful ceremony he was endowed with powers that set him apart from other men. He was now a superman, capable of vast feats of strength, flight, telekinetic force bolts, and all the rewards of being a holy man. This gave him not only great powers, but a reason to live. Cover price $3.95.
