Screenwriting gurus giving tough notes on first drafts

Die Betschiden sind Menschen - aber sie leben weit entfernt von der Erde, in einer fremden Sterneninsel. Bis vor kurzem kannten sie nur den Überlebenskampf auf einer Dschungelwelt. Sie wissen immerhin, dass ihre Vorfahren Raumfahrer waren, Bewohner des legendären Raumschiffs SOL. Aber von der Vergangenheit kennen sie nur die Legenden. Seit einiger Zeit müssen sich drei Betschiden in der Raumflotte des Herzogtums von Krandhor behaupten. Sie suchen die Spur ihrer Vorfahren.

Ende des Jahres 3587: Nachdem sie gefährliche Missionen in den Tiefen des Alls bewältigt haben, sind Perry Rhodan und seine Gefährten mit der BASIS auf dem Rückweg zur Milchstraße. Womit niemand rechnen konnte: In der heimatlichen Sterneninsel herrscht eine explosive Lage. Der Hordenführer Amtranik, ein uraltes Wesen, folgt einem Plan, der vor einer Million Jahren entwickelt worden ist. Amtranik will die raumfahrenden Zivilisationen der Milchstraße vernichten.

Das Jahr 3587: Kosmische Geschichte und das Schicksal der Menschheit verbinden sich in unterschiedlichen Regionen des Universums. In der Milchstraße sind alle Welten von zerstörerischen Weltraumbeben bedroht - der Schlüssel zur Lösung der Gefahr liegt in der fernen Galaxis Erranternohre. Dort ringen Perry Rhodan und die Besatzungsmitglieder der BASIS um die Zukunft ihrer Heimat. Erranternohre ist ein kosmisches Wunder, denn nur in dieser Sterneninsel existieren sowohl eine Materiensenke als auch eine Materienquelle.

Vor Jahrmillionen verbreiteten sie das Leben im Universum - jetzt sind sie todbringende Waffen: die gigantischen Sporenschiffe der ehemaligen Mächtigen. Im Jahr 3587 stehen Perry Rhodan und seine Gefährten an Bord des Raumschiffes BASIS vor der unmittelbaren Konfrontation mit ihnen. Nur wenn die Besatzung der BASIS diesen Konflikt übersteht, kann die Mission fortgesetzt werden. Die Terraner an Bord müssen ihre Heimat vor dem drohenden Untergang bewahren und zu den Kosmokraten vorstoßen.
