Trouble! His daydreaming was out of control. But how could Tobbi Sontag resist flying on his newly invented bionic wings or racing his car at 200 miles an hour, or scoring a spectacular basket over the heads of helpless NBA stars. Yet, how could he do anything when for the past three months he has been stuck in a wheelchair? And things were getting worse, much worse! A Voice haunted him, a deep, gruesome Voice; it called for him more and more, even now.... Tobbi s familiar world crumbles around him. I know something is going to happen, but what, what? he asks himself. When the moment comes, however, Tobbi makes a difficult but critical decision and the adventure of his life begins! Tobbi transforms into something else, and a whole new world opens up to him, a whole new life. Welcome to Cloudland! In the mountains of South America thrives an artistic society of sentient clouds. It is led by the enormous Cloud Maker, the owner of the Voice. After many adventures there, Tobbi learns of the grave threat to Cloudland and even the whole Earth; he chooses to join their fight. The Evil Spoiler intends to conquer the skies and drown the world in storms. In his lair inside Gray Mountains he is ready to unleash his gray army and the monstrous Shadow Eater to poison the skies of the world. The War! Tobbi and his chosen troops fail in their desperate, all out assault. Horrifying events unfold and finally only Tobbi is left. He fights alone but he fights for everything he cares for and for everyone he loves. Will he win? Will he be able to get back? Will he get well? Will he lose everything, even his life?
