rampaging beast within that was spawned in the heart of a gamma bomb explosion; struggling with obsessed
army officers like Major William Talbot, dedicated to hunting him down with fearsome weapons such
as the new cybernetic Hulkbusters; struggling to provide his wife Betty with something akin to a
normal life . . . a forbidding problem considering that Banner's intellect present!)' occupies
the towering, hard-to-miss body of the Incredible Hulk.
The persecution by the army, combined with Betty's unexpected pregnancy, prompts Bruce to take desperate
measures. An experimental operation may hold the key to the cure he has long sought. It is a chance he will
gladly take, and one which actually seems to pay off, as he is transformed bock to his human self.
But the risk may carry with it an unexpectedly high price, especially when the horrific secret of Betty's
pregnancy is revealed. It's a price that puts Bruce and Betty's offspring at risk, and plunges the Hulk into
the most terrifying and daunting exploit of his life, struggling against his greatest foes to save himself,
his family, and his very soul.
"With guest appearances by every incarnation of the Hulk you could imagine, this
is the fantastic new novel by the author who has written over 100 issues of the Hulk--an incredible warm-up
for this, the Hulk's ultimate adventure!"--from the book jacket.
