Book IV, Gamadin Tom Kirkbride

Harlowe was surfing in the South Pacific when Riverstone called in a panic from the Omini Prime quadrant. All life on the planet Gazz was about to be wiped out by a lethal gamma ray burst (GRB) in eleven days. According to Wiz, saving the planet with Millawanda's forcefield was a "slam dunk." Millie saves the planet, but at a cost: her power is sucked dry! Unable to maintain orbit, Millawanda plunges into the planet's ocean. Adding to the tragedy, Riverstone, Lu and Sizzle have vanished and a second GRB will hit the planet in 37 days. But Gazz is a 15th Century planet of wind-powered ships and slithering beasts called "traas." In a race against time, Harlowe must commandeer a pirate galleon and find the yellow crystals that will power Millawanda back to to life before his girl, his crew, his ship, the planet, and his own life are lost . . .
