Trapped in a wheelchair, a disabled white man proclaims himself a living god over natives in Africa, using trickery. He sadistically imprisons whites, awaiting vengeance on the man who crippled him and stole his wife

From a wheelchair, a handicapped white man rules an area of Africa as a living god. He rules the local natives through superstition and stage magic and he rules the few white people through sadism, keeping them virtual prisoners. He lives for the day he can avenge himself horribly on the man who stole his wife and crushed his spine.—Mark Leeper <[email protected]>
