DER ZYKLUS VON DEN UNSTERBLICHEN
Erdenkind 06/4606
Erdenlied 06/4607
Raketenlied 06/4608
Das Raumschiff der Unsterblichen kehrt nach zweitausend Jahren auf seine Heimatkolonie Aulos zurück. Für die Siedler ist die Ram nur noch Legende.
Beim jährlichen Fest der Lumpentänzer wird ihre Attrappe als mythisches Ungeheuer vorgeführt - bis sich das Gaukelspiel in Wirklichkeit verwandelt.
Gespenstische Dinge geschehen im All. Die Struktur des Raums verzerrt sich, der Sternenantrieb der Ram fällt aus, und Ebenbilder von ihr drohen als dichtes Netz den Planeten zu ersticken.
Kurt Kraus, der letzte Unsterbliche, erkennt das Omen: die Vernichtung des Universums steht bevor. Er kehrt zur Erde zurück und trifft noch einmal - wie vor zehntausend Jahren - die Wahl zwischen seiner Unsterblichkeit und seinem künstlerischen Genie, um durch dieses Opfer die Welt zu retten.

I really enjoyed it at the time. I should read this one again along with the other books in Webb's series.

I probably should have read the previous books for greater context, but it wasn't a bad read. The ending was interesting, but I would have liked more depth/exploration regarding the choices each individual had to make at the beginning (immortality versus creativity). Still, I think Webb does a good job developing the culture of this world and keeps it fast paced and entertaining.
