De vijand in het duister

Perry Rhodan

by Kurt Mahr

Arkon en Terra hebben onlangs een verdrag met betrekking tot wederzijdse hulp ondertekend - en de snelle ruimteschepen van de solaire vloot staan ten allen tijde startklaar om overal in te grijpen, waar orde en rust op de planeten van de Melkweg verstoord blijken te worden.
Deze keer is het de telecom-noodkreet van een stervende Arkon-gouverneur, die de FINMARK, een kruiser van de Statenklasse, doet vertrekken naar de waterplaneet Orghan... Majoor Thomas Untcher stoot daarbij met zijn mannen op De vijand in het duister...

Reviews

[Wolle · Rating 2 out of 5]

Ein Roboter wird vernichtet auf der Wasserwelt Opghan.
ein Kommando aus Terra soll der Sache nachgehen.

Der undurchsichtige Aufbau macht diesen schönen Weltenbau kaputt.
Eine coole Wasserwelt, aber diese Handlung ist super verwirrend.
Irgendwie Filler und irgendwie nicht so gut.

On Opghan, in the Ep-Hog System, the robot Ptal, in the service of the Arkonide Imperium, is attacked and destroyed by an unknown attacker. The Terran cruiser FINMARK is sent to investigate the “murder” of Ptal on this aquatic world which is inhabited by the amphibious Ephogers. After landing on Opghan, part of the FINMARK’s crew rebels for unknown reasons.
The Terrans become prisoners of the Springers and Aras who installed a secret base on Opghan. They learn that the Ephogers are the product of genetic manipulations begun a long time ago by the Aras on the original Arkonide colonists without their knowledge. From the undersea Psimo forests, the Galactic Physicians are now extracting a precious drug which is responsible for the behavior of the FINMARK’s crew. With the help of three Ephogers, the Terrans free themselves. Perry Rhodan and the Terran battleship BARBAROSSA appear in the Ep-Hog System, attracted by a radio call from the FINMARK, and put an end to the plots of the Aras and Springers on Opghan.

The biggest SF series of all time - these early ones are a bit old style

Einzelabenteuer können ja Spaß machen - es sei denn es dreht sich um irgendwelche unbekannten Randos in einer völlig uninteressanten Handlung. Ächz.
