John Carter lives!
Well, not John Carter, but....
This is my first foray into the dizzying world of Perry Rhodan, the incredible long-running German Space epic. It was... interesting. Reminiscent in many ways of the sword and planet tales of Edgar Rice Burroughs: light on science, long on valiant battle.
My interest in this was piqued by my recent purchase of "Fire with Fire" a Star Trek novel by German authors. This alone is a first - the English publication of a non-English Star Trek novel. Reading about the authors I found at least one had background with the Perry Rhodan franchise, which lead me to start digging into this gigantic SF edifice. As Mr Spock would say, "fascinating!"

Another book in the first person singular by Atlan, the crystal prince. We learn about his past 10,000 years ago. They were trying to build up a colony on Venus, and on the third planet on the continent named after him. And then people start disappearing. The same menace Rhodan faces in the present.
I like the way Scheer writes theses novels. But truth to be told, it is not really very exciting. Except for the last couple of pages where Atlan receives the cell-activator from IT. Why? Because he is expected to help our Peace Lord in the far future?

Atlan returns, and in an eidetic memory fugue, tells the story of Atlantis and how he became immortal
