President Luaga of Bangalla is preparing his first visit to the Deep Woods since the twins' birth (see D140 The Heirs / S108 The Heirs) when his ordinary pilot Captain Logu is replaced at the last minute by a new security detail.

When President Luaga does not turn up as agreed and nobody reports seeing the helicopter, the Phantom realises that his friend has been abducted, and starts following a long and violent trail that leads all the way to the Misty Mountains and a meeting with an old arch enemy...

Watch out for:

Assassins in the night

A daring parachute drop

A palace coup
