all precautionary measures when we land on Honur and, most important, weтАЩll have theGanymede as
rear protection. On the other hand we must all realize that we canтАЩt simply turn our backs on this menace
if we want to keep the Earth safe. It would be sure to catch up with us. We must locate the enemy and
reason with him or, if that fails, destroy him. WeтАЩve no other choice. Hence weтАЩre forced to return to
Honur."




2/ TRACK OF THE GODS



HonurтАЩs sun was a small star whose spectrum reached a maximum in the infra-red band. Therefore the
light it radiated even in the middle of the day was as red as that of the EarthтАЩs sun in the early morning or
before sunset.

Honur was a small world of moderate weight with a surface gravitation of 0.7 G. Its mean yearly
temperature was 48.5┬░ F according to Arkonide recordsтАФthis was less than on Earth but much more
than on Mars, for instance, with which Honur could best be compared.

Its surface was dry. There were no oceans and only a few lakes but it had mountains with peaks
reaching considerable heights.

At the foot of one such massif, whose crest towered above 13,000 feet, theTitan had landed near a little
lake on that fateful day when its misfortune began.

TheTitan landed again at the same plate while theGanymede remained in a wide orbit around the
planet. The Command Centres of theGanymede and theTitan maintained uninterrupted audio-visual
contact via telecom.

Rhodan took no more chances.

The natives, the тАШApproved PeopleтАЩ as they called themselves, were nowhere to be seen. Shortly after
the previous landing they had silently squatted down at the shore of the lake and motionlessly stared at
the gigantic ship.

Now theTitan had been already there for 10 hours and none of the natives had appeared. Did they have
a hand in the mystery? Could they be the faithful servants of those strangers they called the Gods?

Rhodan gave his instructions. A search team under Lt. Tifflor was ordered to comb the neighbourhood
of theTitan in a radius of 50 miles. The rapidity with which the natives had appeared on the scene after
the first landing of theTitan indicated that there was at least one inhabited place to be found within this
radius. TifflorтАЩs group of men took some of the multi-purpose vehicles, which could travel on land, in the
water and through the air and were armed with some powerful weapons. Their special objective was to
find one of the тАШApproved OnesтАЩ and to bring him in for a psycho-examination.

A second group under the command of Maj. Chaney was assigned the task of crisscrossing the planet
with three long-range reconnaissance crafts of the Gazelle type and to study the physical features of this
world. Rhodan felt sure that the unknown enemy was bound to consume a great amount of energy if he
