This is another Grautier adventure by Mahr. Did Mahr like to write these books that are obviously fillers? Maybe.
As a reminder 8000 Terrans were forced into exile by Rhodan and they created a colony. It turns out that on another planet of the system there exists an intelligent species that threatens them. And now our colonists come up with the magnificent idea to land on the enemy planet disguised as ambassadors from another star system, namely Aurigel. And the plan is to make them stay away from Grautier by threatening to attack them. And to make it look real they do speak French instead of English. I thought that this was a particularly dumb idea, as any linguist would soon discover the similarities between the languages.
Now the magnificent thing about this book is that this exactly happens. In addition they forgot to rename their ship which is called Fair Lady. So their bluff is called.
Luckily at this very moment a large star ship from Terra turns up by coincidence. And they, of course, will protect our guys. And Mullon, the leader of Grautier, has time to regret that he ever thought he had to fight against Rhodan.
5/10

Unter der Führung des Offiziers Chellish führen die Kolonisten von Gray Beast eine Konterattacke gegen die Peepsies vom Nachbar-Planeten. Sie täuschen die Peepsies indem sich als bewohner des Planeten Aurigel ausgeben und Französisch sprechen.
Das ist ein Cooler Roman bis auf das Ende zuviele Zufälle, dass ist ein wenig Lame.

After the destruction of the Whistler vessel on Grautier, the two remaining vessels of the Whistler fleet from the planet, Heeninniy, are still expected.
On Grautier, an auxiliary vessel of the ADVENTUROUS is repaired. Renamed FAIR LADY, it must land on the home planet of the Whistlers in order to banish all danger of invasion forever. It takes off on 16 August 2042. In order not to be recognized, the crew of thirteen men speaks only French.
The vessel is welcomed with pomp and ceremony on Heeninniy. Iiy-Juur-Eelie, the President-King, appears and welcomes them at the palace. Three Terrans remain in secret on board of the FAIR LADY. The Terrans present themselves as ambassadors from the planet Aurigel, a made-up planet supposedly located seven light-years from Heeninniy.
In the absence of the Terrans, the Whistlers enter the FAIR LADY and photograph documents that they then decipher. These documents, however, are fakes which have been intentionally planted and which describe Aurigel as a great military power. Iiy-Juur-Eelie wants to move his visitors further away from the FAIR LADY by forcing their plane crash in the desert so that he can search their ship quietly. The Terrans send a message toward Feejnee, another planet of the system, in order to deceive the Whistlers.
They then go for a walk in the city and meet a Whistler in a bar who invites them to a secret meeting. At the same time, in order to sow confusion on Heeninniy and thereby divert attention from Grautier, the Terrans stick up posters inciting a revolt against the visitors. Chellish and Mullon meet a mysterious Whistler who is part of a resistance movement.
Meanwhile, Fij-Gul, the aide de camp of admiral Wee-Nii, notices some resemblances between the language of the visitors - French - and the one of the occupants of the planet 7, Weelie-Wee (the Whistler name for the planet Grautier). He ends up discovering that the name FAIR LADY comes from the language of the strangers on Weelie-Wee and that the supposed ambassadors from Aurigel are impostors.
The Terrans are stopped during an excursion in the city, the secret services having placed some micro-tracking devices in their cars.
About two hundred Whistlers look for a way to enter the FAIR LADY but a protective shield is now in place. In his cell, Chellish is interrogated by Gii-Yeep, the chief of the secret services, and tortured. He reveals the nature of the protective field, and a Whistler technician takes notes. Later, a Whistler insurgent helps the Terrans to escape. They end up entering the quarters of Iiy-Juur-Eelie who they capture.
Driven back, they are saved by the sudden arrival of the SOLAR SYSTEM and two other cruisers. The Solar Imperium has decided to establish a base in this space sector.

Oito mil degredados da Terra vivem em Fera Cinzenta, o oitavo planeta do sistema Mirta, totalmente afastado das rotas comerciais ou científicas das espaçonaves interestelares. Estes degredados começaram a se estabelecer em seu novo mundo, fazendo grandes progressos. Notaram, porém, que a nova pátria não pertencia exclusivamente a eles. Há, nos montes, os mungos, uma raça semi-inteligente de macacos e nas matas virgens da parte mais baixa do planeta habitam os anões azuis, estranhos seres dotados de extraordinárias forças paramecânicas e parapsíquicas.
Mas, vida inteligente também existe no décimo segundo planeta do sistema Mirta: os assim chamados peepsies, que, numa inesperada invasão, quase destruíram a colônia da Terra. Conseguindo, então, com muito sacrifício, colocar em condições de funcionamento o encouraçado espacial inimigo Fair Lady, os degredados da colônia resolvem fazer uma visita de agradecimento aos peepsies, para cortar pela raiz qualquer nova tentativa de invasão por parte dos habitantes do décimo segundo planeta.
Os terranos surgem como Os Embaixadores de Aurigel.
No entanto sua missão toma um desfecho completamente inesperado...

Ab ca Mitte des Heftes habe ich es nur noch quergelesen. Reine Notwehr. Damit hätte dieser tosend uninteressante Handlungsstrang endlich sein gerechtes Ende gefunden.
Für alle armen Seelen die nach mir kommen: Überspringt diese vier Kolonisten-"Abenteuer" einfach. Das Ende vom Spuk ist so eine konsequenzenlose Frechheit dass ich das Heft eigentlich an die Wand schmeißen wollte - was jedoch nicht ging, da ich meinen eReader noch ein wenig brauche.
