on the moon just a few days ago?"



"We all know perfectly well that that battle was nothing but a preliminary skirmish. ThoraтАЩs
explanations have turned out to be correct. The faster than light transmitter of the destroyed Arkonide
spaceship on the moon has mobilized the enemies of both our civilizations and has lured alien intelligence
into our corner of the galaxy. Such a race as the Fantan people, bent on annihilation, will not be satisfied
with half measures and individual actions. I have fed the information regarding our situation into the brain.
The, answer of the machine was that the invasion has already started. Will you please go now to your
stations. You know what needs to be done!"Whatever had not yet become routine in the running of the
ship became so on this flight The automatic scanner reported in regular intervals, "No foreign bodies can
be located."



Rhodan regularly checked the stations manned by Bell, Eric Manoli, Captain Klein, Li Tschai-tung and
Peter Kosnow.



At a distance of about 240,000 miles from the center of the Earth, Rhodan ordered the ship to enter

speed."ThatтАЩs fine!" murmured Rhodan as the gigantic crescent of the moon fell behind them."The

"Only man is fallible," confessed Perry Rhodan. "If the invasion is not really taking place, I must have
asked the question the wrong way. In this case I almost hope I have made a mistake."



"You have made one indeed," came ThoraтАЩs voice over the loudspeaker. You might just as well come
back to Earth, Perry Rhodan. I have followed your endeavours here in my cabin, and I have observed
what the scanners reported. There is no alien spaceship out here! You would be better advised to devote
your energies to more urgent tasks on Earth!"



"Thank you for this advice. Is Khrest with you?"



"He is resting in his cabin. Both of us had decided not to participate actively in this mission."
 The same moment Khrest spoke up via the intercom system. "I have listened in, Rhodan. Although I
