nightтАж?"

The heavy door was already clicking shut as Allan D. MercantтАЩs booming laughter filled the office. Frank
Lemmon thought it better to join in the laughter rather than to dwell on Perry RhodanтАЩs remark.

The resolution to improve himself made that moment last for two days.

On the day on which the Indian Rabintorge arrived in Terrania to work on a special project for the Solar
Empire, Frank Lemmon first entered his office at 11 oтАЩclock. He had awakened with the feeling that that
day would bring no important new developments.

And the reports he received were very commonplace. Perry Rhodan, however, was staggered by a
hypercom message from Arkon.

His son, Thomas Cardif, deserter from the Solar Fleet and his most bitter enemy, had added a new deed
to his desertion. Speaking from the planet of Archetz in the Rusuma System, 44 light-years from Arkon,
he revealed to the intently listening Galaxy that the robot computer on Arkon 3 had been switched off by
Admiral Atlan and would henceforth obey orders from Atlan only!




2/ THE LONELIEST PERSON IN THE SOLAR SYSTEM



Chaos of galactic proportions was brewing!

The Arkonide Empire. 10,000 years earlier already a gigantic stellar empire with the globular star cluster
M-13 at its core, was now in danger of disintegrating into several individual national entities due to one
clever move on the part of a deserted officer of the Solar Empire.

Atlan, in the solitude of the gigantic dome of the mammoth positronic computer on Arkon 3, was now
weaker than Perry Rhodan. The threat from within the Arkonide Empire was one million-fold greater
than the threat facing the Solar System.

Atlan spoke from Arkon to Perry Rhodan on Earth. "I need time, Perry! I now needyour help,
barbarian! I must operate with the charisma of your name! Who knows Atlan the Admiral who played a
significant role 10,000 years ago? Who still knows my race? But why arenтАЩt you saying anything?"

"What shall I say to you, friend?" responded Rhodan, outwardly unruffled but inwardly tense. "Call me
back in eight Earth hours. I have to digest the new facts first myself, although neither of us really
anticipated anything else. You mentioned the name of Thomas CardifтАж"

Across a distance of 34,000 light-years Atlan interrupted him. "Whether I say Thomas Cardif or
Galactic Traders is not significant. But the fact that Cardif and the Springers are attempting to split the
Empire from the planet of Rusuma is! You asked me to return the call in eight Earth hours. Do you really
know what could happen within that period?"

Perry listened intently. Was Atlan driven by panic, Atlan the timeless, the immortal?
