Ming the Merciless is back on the throne of the shattered empire. Now Flash, Dale Arden, Princess Aura, and other allies are wanted everywhere. But there's one man in particular who will stop at nothing to find Flash Gordon... And it's Flash Gordon himself. A Flash from another universe, driven purely by vengeance for the death of his own Dale! A despot whose iron grip would rival only that of his dead wife's! With Ming the Merciless at his side, this world -- and the life of the real Flash Gordon -- is surely doomed.
