Perry Rhodan and his team of veterans face total destruction. The Springers have decided that if there is
no other way of ridding themselves of this daring Earthman and his companions they willblow up
Beta-Albireo, the ice world which Perry is using as his H.Q.

But Perry has a new lieutenant in Pucky, a mutant animal of super-human cunning, which the Springers
are already learning to fear.



This is the stirring story ofтАУ


PERIL ON ICE PLANET


1/ Springers Vs. TheSolar System



Space quaked as the structure sensors in Perry RhodanтАЩs command centre registered transition after
transition.

Each hyperjump caused a disturbance in the fabric of the space-time continuum sufficient that sensitive
instruments could record the results.

In this case, however, the distances were not especially great: the ships emerging from the transitions at
moderate speeds were only between 7 and 21 light-years away.

But the continuum rendings had been continuing for half an hour and the situation was beginning to
become acute for the three Earthships hovering motionless in space, 8 light-years from the centre of
gravity of the Beta-Albireo constellation. Three gigantic spherical shipsтАФTerraandSolar System , each
measuring 600 feet in diameter, and the 2500-footStardust . The only threelarge units of the Terranian
Space Fleet, under the command of Perry Rhodan.

Rhodan himself had taken over as First Pilot of theStardust and the battleship was fully manned and
ready for action. Reginald Bell assisted him as Second Pilot and Fire Control officer. The operators of
the most important communication equipment were doubled.

The very air of the command centre seemed to pulsate with tension. There was actually little danger that
the three Terranian ships could be detected for the usual rangefinders were reliable only up to a distance
of two light-years at most; still, it was possible that one of the Springer ships might stray into their sector
by accident and run into the nervous outnumbered Earthships.

One of the younger officers was busy checking the quantity of transitions as accurately as possible.
Rhodan wanted to know how many opponents they would have to contend with if worst came to worst.

"Seventy-eight, sir!" the young officer replied nervously. "But there seems to be a letup at the moment."
 Bell spun round. "I donтАЩt like it," he growled in a tone low enough so that only Rhodan was able to hear
him.
