In questo libro ti do la chiave per il segreto del magnetismo personale, ma starà comunque a te determinare quale grado di successo conseguirai. Io ti do gli strumenti migliori e le istruzioni per come usarli; ma il resto dovrai farlo da solo. Dirò, tuttavia, che il successo deve essere e sarà tuo se seguirai le istruzioni con attenzione, persistenza e perseveranza. Questo è tutto ciò che posso fare per te; il resto è nelle tue stesse mani.

Peter Kraemer, ein Physiklehrer und Hobbyastronom, macht eine Entdeckung, die er selbst kaum glauben kann: Sterne verschwinden von einem Tag auf den anderen, ohne dass irgendetwas von ihnen übrig bliebe. Er hat Glück: die Forscherin, die er kontaktiert, nimmt ihn ernst. Sie findet in jedem einzelnen Fall eine beruhigende, logische Erklärung. Dass es sich nur um Sterne handelt, die der Sonne ähneln, und dass sich der geheimnisvolle Prozess unserem Heimatsystem zu nähern scheint, spielt deshalb keine Rolle.

Die Venus ist ein lebensfeindlicher Planet, bedeckt von aktiven Vulkanen. Trotzdem startet die NASA eine Expedition, die nach Leben suchen soll, denn die dichten Wolken der heißen Schwester der Erde könnten dafür gute Bedingungen bieten. Ein speziell entwickeltes Airship dient den vier Astronauten als Forschungsplattform. Doch dann entdecken sie auf der glühenden Oberfläche gefährliche Aktivitäten, für die es nur eine Erklärung geben kann: Dort muss eine hoch entwickelte Lebensform am Werk sein.

Nach zwölf Jahren Funkstille empfangen Wissenschaftler plötzlich Informationen vom Kometen 67P. Der Lander, der dort abgesetzt wurde, galt eigentlich als defekt.

Von ihren zunächst sensationellen, dann aber beängstigenden Erkenntnissen motiviert, entschließt sich die NASA, ein bemanntes Raumschiff zu dem Kometen zu schicken. Doch die Verbindung zu den drei Astronauten bricht ab - und niemand kann die dunkle Gefahr, die auf die Erde zukommt, jetzt noch stoppen.

Weiter als die vier Astronauten der Shepherd-1 ist noch nie jemand ins All vorgestoßen. Das Ziel ihrer Mission: die Entstehung des Kosmos zu beobachten.

Um so größer ist die Enttäuschung, als über den ersten Bildern ein Schleier liegt, der jede Erkenntnis verhindert.

NASA finally made it. The very first human has just set foot on the surface of our neighbor planet. This is the start of a long research expedition that sent four scientists into space.

Twenty men and women have been selected to live there and establish the first extraterrestrial settlement.

In the 1980s, physicists at a lab in the Soviet Union find traces of strange data in the cosmic background radiation. Because powerful forces in the military believe these findings can be turned into a weapon for use in the cold war, the information gleaned by the physicists is kept under strictest secrecy. The scientists are limited to primitive 1980s technology, but what they find has roots in much, much older times. They finally try an experiment that they hope will win the world over for communism.
