One is captured, but the other returns, not only with the medicine Krest needs, but a doctor to administer it to him. Meanwhile, he sends a couple crewmembers to retrieve the material Krest needs for his condition. He uses this base to start what will eventually be a galactic empire based on Earth (or what Perry calls "Terra"). Upon arrival on Earth, Rhodan takes what seems to be at first glance to be a stupid idea - he realizes that the nations of Earth are not ready to handle the technology of the Arkonides, and lands the ship in the middle of the Gobi desert and activates a special force field (of Arkonide design) over the ship. Krest gives Rhodan access to some of his civilization's fantastic creations in exchange for a promise to attempt to cure a strange disease that he has. Krest, an Arkonide Scientist, and the military commander, Thora, are found in the ship, along with a few other Arkonides. Two humans, Major Perry Rhodan, commander of the first nuclear powered rocket to the moon, and Captain Reginald Bell become embroiled in an interstellar conflict when they find not only the ruins of a gigantic spaceship on the moon, but they also realize that it is still occupied! In "Enterprise Stardust" were are introduced to the major characters for the next few years. The series is still being produced on a weekly basis.
"Enterprise Stardust" seems like such an inauspicious beginning to what is now the world's greatest Science Fiction Space Opera.Īlthough only about 125 books (still an incredible number for any series of books) were translated and reprinted in America, over 1800 (yes, that's right, over one thousand eight hundred!) have been printed in Germany and reprinted in almost every country in the world.
