INVISIBLE INVADERS!THEIR HOME GALAXY hung close to the horizon. If one were to consider it as the sun it would be possible to say that here it was late afternoon. Its spiral arms appeared to be slowly turning but of course that was merely an illusion. The other island universes were cold, dim light flecks of not much apparent significance. Barkon was a planet without light and now it was apparently a world without hope.  Rhodan looked down at the ground.  Somewhere below the Barkonides must be residing if they still lived. He had witnessed their preparations for burrowing into the planet. It had appeared to them to be the only way of surviving the long journey through emptiness."The ship!"Pucky's frightened voice was the only sound they had heard in their helmets since they had stepped onto Barkon. Rhodan whirled about. What he saw filled him with amazement—or rather it was what he failed to see.  The ship had vanished!THE STARLESS REALM!

ARKON STAR REALM, Alert! The Cosmic Chessboard is set for a conflict of Galactic Giants. And Perry plays a perilous part between them!

It's Arkon pitted against Druufon, the Robot Regent vs. the Druufs, as titanic interstellar powers clash in—THE BONDS OF ETERNITY!

"BIG WORDS, Rhobal!" Cardif retorted. Rhodan's son rose to his feet and shoved the Anti aside. Stepping over to the ball of energy he seized the sphere and raised it above his head. "Go ahead-all of you! Feast your eyes on these cell activators which can give the gift of eternal life! 20 of them, waiting here for you... but you will never have them unless I give the mental order, of my own free will, for the sphere to open. They lie behind a barrier to our time, gentlemen. Do you understand that? They are enclosed by a time field and that field will remain closed unless I feel like having it open up. Well, Rhobal, do you still dare antagonize me with your threats?"Negotiations might have begun but at that moment a loud announcement came over the speaker: "Rhobal, a ship from the Solar Fleet is approaching!"More than two dozen Antis stiffened in sudden alarm and consternation. And the man who had usurped Perry Rhodan's position in the Sol System cursed inwardly. You'll read the rest in--  THE MAN WITH TWO FACES!

THE INCREDIBLE had happened. —Thus begins chapter 1, ‘The Message of the Century’, of the next episode of Perry Rhodan’s ‘diary’, It continues: In clear, uncoded text the unmistakable signature appeared on the tape.

"WE STILL have some hope," Perry Rhodan said."But slim at best," Atlan replied."Hope is hope!" the Peacelord declared adamantly. "Don't forget that we have always mastered the worst situations."'"But nothing as dreadful as this," the Crystal Prince muttered glumly.  And Perry Rhodan knew in his heart of hearts that his immortal friend, the Imperator of Arkon who had survived from the time of Atlantis, was right.

EDITORIAL REVIEW:Perry Rhodan is on a secret mission on a planet of Arkonide descendants. With him, on a mile-long ‘liberated’ space battleship is the extraordinary Pucky, and the imperious Thora. But new mysteries arise on the planet Zalit. The Zalites are coppery-skinned aliens with copper-green hair.

Are they malevolent? A new and fantastic challenge for Perry Rhodan and his mutant allies... CHALLENGE OF THE UNKNOWN!

Save them! Save them! Save them! This was the only thought that found room in Pucky's brain. I must save them from that flaming inferno. At least I owe them that. Who has made this attack on my home world? The Druufs? The Springers? The Aras?Oh, Perry, you must help me destroy those scoundrels! Pucky was blindly determined to get to Vagabond as soon as possible. He kept thinking desperately about the heat there: It was going higher than 135 Fahrenheit in some areas! For his own kind, the mouse-beavers, he knew this would be like the fires of Hell!  All Hell breaks loose in next adventure—UNLEASHED POWERS!

THE WORLD by which they were now surrounded gave them an eerie feeling. They were familiar with the wide open spaces of the universe or the inhospitable surfaces of other worlds but rarely ventured into the deep regions of oceans. Although deepsea cruises in land-sea-air transporters had been part of their training they had assumed they would spend all their time in the comfort of a spaceship and never seriously contemplated a life underwater.As soon as they entered the water the observer had detected small semi-metallic objects moving in the vicinity of the ship. The way they moved indicated that they must be steered. Untcher tried to contact them with the short-range intercom but received no answer.The unidentified boats finally left as if they had been suddenly called back.  What happens next is part of the exciting plot of–  ENEMY IN THE DARK!

The Solar Empire has become a major commercial power along the rim of the Milky Way. For the past 22 years a virtual stream of emigrants has been flowing out to suitable colonial worlds. Also on many of the planets inhabited by other intelligences, Terran embassies have been established as well as far-flung trading settlements.  In spite of all this, however, the situation is tense. An ominous discovery has been made: there is a super power in the galaxy which is friendly neither to Arkonides nor to Terrans! These are the Akons of the so-called Blue System.
