Synopsis:

Jack is returned to life by Rannian cloning technology, but realizes that his tattoos are gone forever. Adam’s daughter Aleea is still kidnapped and Turran Kha demands the signing of the interplanetary peace treaty to be called off. Rann leader Sardath – Adam’s father-in-law – refuses to let one life threaten interplanetary peace. The team of Adam, Jack, and Mikaal succeed in finding Aleea before the peace treaty is signed, but shortly afterwards, Adam is returned to Earth by the Zeta-Beam. Aleea, Jack and Mikaal are found and almost killed by Kha and his companions, but are saved in the last second by an interplanetary armada lead by Sardath. The treaty is signed. Turran Kha remains at large. And on Earth, Adam Strange is longing to see his family again.
