Es ist ein unterhaltsamer Roman, obwohl man sich fragt was das soll. Hier und da ein paar Logikfehler aka mit Clark Dalton sind die Pferde durchgegangen trotz allem ganz nett.

Spaßiges Verkleidungsspiel! Ich muß allerdings zugeben dass ich mir vom auf dem Cover großspurig angekündigten Hosenverlust deutlich mehr erwartet habe. Hätten ALLE Protagonisten ihre Hosen verloren, wäre es NOCH lustiger gewesen.

During the absence of Perry Rhodan, the colonists of Venus proclaimed their independence. Pucky intervenes and solves everything himself resulting in an amicable outcome. At the time of a banquet, he is called by Betty Toufry, responsible for the Mutant Corps in the absence of John Marshall. Rhodan has just called, asking for equipment and the mousebeaver.
Pucky arrives on Hellgate with a luxury yacht, the Koos-Nor. Rhodan takes the identity of an Arkonide inspector, Tristol. Pucky is to be his companion animal and a servant of weak intelligence - to the great dismay of the mousebeaver. The Koos-Nor arrives in the Revnur system (the planet Toloman) and announces its arrival.
Rhodan gets settled in a hotel. He captures the thoughts of men anxious to capture Pucky. Completely unknown to the Aras, he stirs their lust. Rhodan is invited to an official reception which he attends, leaving Pucky alone. When the captors arrive, the mousebeaver lets himself be captured. He is questioned by several Aras and awakens their interest even more when he states that he and his master have lived for at least one thousand years. He is then imprisoned in a cell but teleports himself out in order to find Rhodan again, who has since returned to the hotel.
The following day, Pucky goes for a walk in the city. He notices Froghs while searching for the three Terran fugitives. He follows them after having warned Rhodan. The mousebeaver is confronted by one of the Froghs in the old hiding place of Marshall in the low rent district. After he rids himself of the Frogh, he establishes telepathic contact with the mutant John Marshall. He, Laury Marten and Rodrigo of Berceo are in the company of Springers working for them.
Rhodan learns that the Aras, who have become increasingly suspicious, asked for information from Arkon on Tristol. In addition, a real inspector, Glogol, announces his arrival and affirms that Tristol is an impostor. Perry Rhodan and Pucky rejoin the three Terrans and thanks to a remote control system recovers the Koos-Nor. The yacht flees into space.

This picks up immediately after the last story, where we see Pucky handling a protest in Venus. That bit of just a few pages, but was really interesting... it established that the mutant corps seems to all have gotten the immortality treatment, and also that Earth was now a multi-planet empire. I hope they continue to do little vignettes like this... really helps the world building!
The main story sees Perry summon Pucky to go with hit to be his 'servant' while he pretends to be an Archonide inspector to try to save John Marshall, Laury and her new boyfriend and hopefully retrieve the life extending stuff the Ara Zoo has come up with. Pucky had to pretend to be a semi-intelligent animal and let them chase his around, which was fun.
Good stuff, though the epilogue to set up what I suspect will be the next story (or maybe a few) was pretty weak.
It seems Earth will soon be back on the Galactic stage!
The extras in this one were really bad... I longish short story co-written by Forest Ackerman himself that was barely comprehensible and another weird, unconnected Cosmos chapter.

Para responder ao pedido de socorro de John Marshall, Rhodan
se passa por um inspetor arcônida e Gucky por seu auxiliar semi-inteligente. Voam a Tolimon, um mundo dos Aras, à bordo de um iate de luxo, onde já estão agentes do exército de mutantes (Marshall e Marten). Rhodan e Gucky conseguem encontrar seu pessoal e todos fogem no iate. Um inspetor verdadeiro aparece e os terranos precisam fazer uma transição às cegas para fugir.
Representante das ações estratégicas de Rhodan, realizando blefes extremamente ousados. Também um staple da série.

Rhodan and Pucky are going to rescue Marschall and Laury Marten. And to get the serum that maybe will prolong Thora’s life.
Rhodan impersonates an Arkonide inspector. Pucky is supposed to play his dumb valet. He does not like it. (The Aras, and this in Rhodan’s plan, will try to get him as a new member of their zoo.) It is kind of funny but not very much so. But still, they of course accomplish their goal. And while this is not a really exciting adventure it is better than most.
