Chapter Summaries & Analyses
Thor clings to a bush between two stone pillars a ways upstream. Far above, the fog clears, revealing that the pillars are actually the legs of a giantess so huge she makes “Godzilla look like a toy poodle” (354). Out of ideas, Magnus throws Jack with all his might toward the giantess’s head. Jack goes into her left nostril and comes out her right, killing her. The giantess falls with a thunderous crash. Thor climbs out from her armpit and congratulates Magnus on an amazing rescue. He invites the group to stay for dinner, and they “can kill Otis and Marvin” (358).
Over dinner, Thor regales Magnus with talk of Midgard TV shows. Even though he’s out in the field defending against giants, he keeps current on TV with his hammer, which “got full bars of service and HD resolution in any of the Nine Worlds” (362). Sam questions the past tense of Thor having his hammer, but Thor changes the subject. Magnus explains the Fenris Wolf situation, but Thor refuses to disclose the location of the island. Instead, he deduces Magnus and his friends are there to help find his missing hammer so he can catch up on his shows.
