From David McIntee, writer of "Doctor Who", comes a new "Ray Harryhausen Presents" adventure! The quest to find the Golden Fleece is over, but now Jason and his band of Argonauts must embark on a new and more difficult journey - the journey home. Pursued by a vengeful Aeetes, the Argonauts will brave many dangers, and encounter old friends and new enemies. But when the gods play games, no one can avoid reaching the lands of the dead forever.

This is a sequel to the cult film! In the 1950s, the U.S. Navy encountered and destroyed a gigantic octopus that attacked shipping and wreaked havoc on the west coast of the United States. American forces killed the creature and ended the threat once and for all...or so they thought. They were wrong! Now, another monster is rising in the warm blue waters surrounding Taru Taru, a speck of land far out in the Pacific. And this time it's worse than anyone ever imagined!

This book opens with a foreword by special effects pioneer Ray Harryhausen (The 7th Voyage of Sinbad) and a biographical essay on Knight by William Stout (The New Dinosaurs). The autobiographical pieces feature illustrations by Mark Schultz (Xenozoic Tales). To round out the volume, it closes with memories from his granddaughter Rhoda Knight Kalt and appreciations from prominent names in the arts and sciences, from Ray Bradbury to Ian Tattersall. Though Knight once said "No one interests me less than Charles Knight," find out why artists such as Frank Frazetta, Mark Hallett, Doug Henderson, Joe Kubert, Al Williamson, and Bernie Wrightson have said that no one interests them more!
