A team of three people land on the planet Mirsal II to investigate the mystery of the disappearing people. Among them is Fellmer Lloyd (there is a picture of him in the book that they grabbed out of PR 500) the Mutant. But the guy who does all the work is a man named Lt. Rous. (There is also a woman who has the job of getting rescued.) He finds out the the enemy transports the victims to a different spacetime continuum. People there are then like statues moving at 1/72000 the speed of our rate.
If this sounds interesting... it isn’t. Well, in the end, Rhodan evacuates 100,000 of the 3 billion inhabitants. And of he goes to see the Regent. The Regent we are asked to believe, is unable to grasp the concept of a slower timeframe because as a machine is immortal. If that makes sense, you will not be surprised to learn that he put 75% of the entire Arkonide fleet under Rhodan’s command.

Three Terrans - Fellmer Lloyd, Marcel Roux and the exopsychologist Rosita Perez - investigate the planet Mirsal II where several sections of the population has disappeared. They borrow a bus that takes them toward the city of Fillinan but while en route all the passengers disappear. Alone the Terrans are not affected. They enter the city of three million inhabitants, subjugating its sentries with their psycho-radiators.
The phenomenon of disappearance occurs again. It appears in the shape of an invisible curtain moving through the air. The Terrans determine that they can protect the natives while surrounding them with a protective field. They also collect a piece of plastic that has already passed through this curtain. They are stopped by the police but, this one having discovered their identity, cooperates with them.
After having carried out a carbon analysis on the piece of plastic, it is now certain that the phenomenon corresponds with the interference with another space-time continuum. The analysis of the plastic piece proves that time passes by 72,000 times more slowly in the other continuum. Randomly, the Terrans discover a way to reach into this continuum while tinkering with an energy field generator. This generator forms a ring, a lens. Marcel Roux passes through it in order to search for Rosita Perez, who has disappeared meanwhile.
He finds himself in an absolutely frozen world where the inhabitants of Mirsal appear as statues on a plain surrounded by a circular impenetrable shadow wall. Roux recovers Rosita, then he crosses the ring or lens in the opposite direction where Perez recovers her normal temporal rhythm.
With the disappearances increasing, the DRUSUS and the ARK-KOOR undertake to evacuate as much of the population of Mirsal II as possible. The DRUSUS reaches Arkon III where Rhodan then converses with the Regent. The positronic brain, which does not understand the problem of the different time rates in the two universes, is dependent on the assistance of Perry Rhodan and his Terrans. Rhodan is given command of 75% of all Arkonides battle squadrons and the saved inhabitants of Mirsal II are allowed to remain on Arkon I. Rhodan also obtains unlimited use of Arkon III and others Arkonide bases.

Um grupo de três terranos opera no planeta Mirsal II testemunhando ataques seguidos dos invisíveis que vivem em outra dimensão temporal.
Outro exemplo de bom volume da série. Comparável ao melhor de Ferrol.
Depois dos três primeiros ciclos na minha opinião a série afundou bastante. O time inicial de autores foi aos poucos se renovando e os novos autores produziram textos bem inferiores.

Another unique world, with a very unique method of investigation
November 11, 2013
Apesar das hábeis manobras realizadas no espaço galático, o trabalho pelo poder e pelo reconhecimento da Humanidade no seio do Universo, realizado por Perry Rhodan, forçosamente teria de ficar incompleto, pois os recursos de que a Humanidade podia dispor na época eram insuficientes face aos padrões cósmicos.
Cinqüenta e seis anos passaram-se desde a pretensa destruição da Terra, que teria ocorrido no ano de 1.984.
Uma nova geração de homens surgiu.
E, da mesma forma que em outros tempos a Terceira Potência evoluiu até transformar-se no governo terrano, esse governo já se ampliou, formando o Império Solar. Marte, Vênus e as luas de Júpiter e Saturno foram colonizados. Os mundos do sistema solar que não se prestam à colonização são utilizados como bases terranas ou jazidas inesgotáveis de substâncias minerais.
No sistema solar não foram descobertas outras inteligências. Dessa forma os terra-nos são os soberanos incontestes de um pequeno reino planetário, cujo centro é formado pelo planeta Terra.
Esse reino planetário, que alcançou grau elevado de evolução tecnológica e civilizatória, evidentemente possui uma poderosa frota espacial, que devia estar em condições de enfrentar qualquer atacante...
Terra e Árcon voltam a aliar-se...
Surgiram acontecimentos estranhos que se tornam uma ameaça sem precedentes para todas as formas de vida da Via Láctea.
Em O Regresso do Nada se fazem presentes lances de pura magia... tecnológica!

Wenn Redshirts von denen wir nie zuvor gehört haben (und aller Wahrscheinlichkeit nach auch nie wieder hören werden) im Mittelpunkt stehen finde ich das Heft normalerweise nicht interessant, aber das hier ging hier eigentlich ausnahmsweise mal. Liegt vielleicht aber auch daran dass im letzten Stück die Hauptfiguren zurückkehren.
Ach, übrigens! Perry sinniert in den letzten Sätzen darüber das arkonidische Imperium eines Tages "friedlich einzugliedern". Hach, immer wieder nett zu lesen was für ein Knuff-Diktator unser Homeboy ist. 🖤

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