Tarkan gilt als sterbendes Universum - es ist dem Untergang geweiht. Einige seiner Bewohner haben offenbar einen unglaublichen Plan geschmiedet: Sie wollen ganze Planetensysteme in die Nähe der Milchstraße transferieren, vielleicht sogar eine komplette Sterneninsel. Dabei nehmen sie keine Rücksicht. Es kommt zu bewaffneten Konflikten mit den Menschen und anderen Raumfahrern, die teilweise sofort angegriffen werden. Zur gleichen Zeit hält sich Perry Rhodan in dem anderen Universum auf. Der Terraner steckt in Nöten, man will ihm helfen.

Auf seiner Suche nach Hilfe im Kampf gegen die Galaktischen Händler erhält Perry Rhodan bei einem Ausflug in die Unendlichkeit von ES, dem Geisteswesen des Planeten Wanderer, eine geheimnisvolle Waffe - den Fiktivtransmitter - mit dessen Hilfe er den Springersippen eine schwere Schlappe beibringen kann. Doch die Patriarchen der Springer geben nicht auf.

Eine immer noch zeitgemäße Science-Fiction-Oper: "Die Dritte Macht (Perry Rhodan Silber Edition Nr.1)" von Clark Darlton und K. H. Scheer bildet den Start der berühmten Perry-Rhodan-Saga. Josef Tratnik liest die abenteuerliche Geschichte mit viel Leidenschaft und macht das Hörbuch für Sie zu einem ganz besonderen Vergnügen!

PERRY RHODAN stößt auf seinen bisher gefährlichsten Gegner - den Overhead - der selbst dem Mutantenkorps Paroli bieten kann. Und der bislang unbekannte, aber wohl gefährlichste Mutant steht auf der Seite des Overhead. Damit nicht genug, findet beinahe unbemerkt eine heimliche Invasion im Solsystem statt. Die Springer - eine raumfahrende Händlersippe - wollen ihr galaktisches Handelsmonopol nicht durch die terranischen Neulinge im All gefährden lassen.

Das Notsignal des auf dem Mond havarierten arkonidischen Schiffes lockt außerirdische Intelligenzen ins Solsystem. Die Menschheit, die Perry Rhodan gerade vor der atomaren Selbstvernichtung bewahrt hat, sieht sich den gefaehrlichen Individualverformern gegenueber. Rhodan entdeckt auf der Venus eine uralte Basis, die er in den Besitz der von ihm gegruendeten Dritten Macht bringen kann. Dort schult er parapsychologisch begabte Menschen, positive Mutanten mit ungewoehnlichen Faehigkeiten.
