ATLAN the Ageless, Time's Lonely One has made his peace with the Peacelord. No longer does the ancient Arkonide constitute a danger to the Solar Imperium because he has clearly realized that further resistance to Rhodan would not only be detrimental to his own interests but... futile.

A NEW MUTANT!Jost Kulman enters the scene. And what a scene. The menace from the Other Dimension swoops and scoops up 20,000 Swoons! The Swoons: the microtex, the micro-technicians, specialists in techniques of ultra-smallness whose scientists could prove of immense future help to Perry Rhodan's cosmic agents.  The Robot Regent's fine Arkonidean 'hand' is also at work, attempting to outwit Perry.

DANGEROUSLY CLOSE.That point in time so long secretly feared by Perry Rhodan is now perilously near for the Robot Brain of Arkon has been informed that the apparent destruction of Sol Planet 3 and its leader, Perry Rhodan—both were but an ingeniously planned deception.  The Positronicon of Arkon now knows, inside its incredibly complicated circuitry & information banks, that the Earth lives.

Is the young empire of the Terranians strong enough to defend itself against the might of the ancient Arkon menace?  As if this were not enough, Perry Rhodan has still other worries: recently on Earth certain restive elements have become active again and are working toward the overthrow of the prevailing order of science & sanity.These disruptive elements are the—  SOLAR ASSASSINS!

Thekus was not a man who would disavow his intentions. The stranger sounded as though he were well-informed. So now there wasn't much purpose in attempting any evasion. "You are the traitor," Thekus replied calmly. "You and the men behind you. I only want the best for the Empire."He sensed that his words were spoken almost virtually into a void. He would not be able to convince the man behind that sharp borderline of shadow. He had come here with a fixed purpose in mind and he would no doubt carry it out. No more words were spoken. Admiral Thekus waited. He had often tried to imagine how he would feel when this moment came. He had no fear. Actually it was a tremendously simple matter of-- DEATH'S DEMAND!

FEVERISH HASTE!  Research Project "Liquitiv" is being pushed forward in feverish haste. For what was at first merely a mission for a few agents of Division 3, has developed into a desperate situation that has the leaders of the Solar Empire holding their frightened breaths. Terra, the colonial planets and the Arkon worlds find they have been lulled into a false sense of security by the scientists of two Imperiums who have made a disastrous error in their analyzes of the long-range effects on human and Arkonides of Liquitiv.  This and more in-- Spoor of the Antis!

It was the most difficult decision Perry Rhodan had ever been forced to make--"Gentlemen, after due deliberation I find it necessary to declare a state of emergency and to place the Solar Imperium under a full military alert."

Each man knew what the end result would be … the destruction of Earth!PSYCHO-DUEL

EDITORIAL REVIEW:Rhodan and his associates journey through time, using one of the machines left behind by the rulers of the Planet of Eternal Life, to visit a long-dead Arkonide that visited the Vega System many years ago.  Perry Rhodan and a hand-picked number of his Mutant Corps use their special abilities to uncover the secret that the long-dead Arkonide holds for them.  We are also informally introduced to a character that will play a crucial role what is to come, in this, the...QUEST THROUGH TIME AND SPACE!

ATLANTIS. The legendary continent. A survivor into the 21st century-Atlan, after whom the sunken land had been named-had unfolded an unknown chapter of Earth's prehistory before his listeners.  Privy in person to Atlan's gripping, vivid narration had been the top officers of the Drusus, flagship of the Terranian Space Fleet, but via the ship's intercom and the viewscreens the ship's complement had been able to share the event either in their quarters or at their posts. When Atlan ended his amazing story a heavy silence descended on all concerned...  SPYBOT!
