  • It started out as an ordinary Los Angeles smog. But when it refused to go away and the ozone level climbed to the highest level ever, scientist Walter Peters knew something was wrong. The sky turned yellow. Then brown. The smog-thick sky was a living, breathing monster, capable of destroying cars, planes, buildings...starting fires...and killing people. In Doug Shreiber's mansion, an elite group of meteorologists, pollution control experts, computer programmers and occultists gathered to deal with the emergency. Their research took them into a world of magic. And they soon discovered that the only way to destroy the smog monster was to create another, even deadlier monster.   Cover art by Don Brautigam.
