Nobody knows the seedy underbelly of Las Vegas like Daniel Faust, a sorcerer for hire and ex-gangster who uses black magic and bullets to solve his clients' problems. When an old man comes seeking vengeance for his murdered granddaughter, what looks like a simple job quickly spirals out of control. Soon Daniel stands in the crossfire between a murderous porn director; a corrupt cop with a quick trigger finger; and his own former employer, a racket boss who isn't entirely human.

Eine Geschichte über Freundschaft, Zusammenhalt und das gute Gefühl, anderen zu helfen - voller Herzenswärme und Humor. Ein marodes Kinderheim steht am existentiellen Abgrund. Es bleiben sechs Monate Zeit für die Renovierung, doch statt des nötigen Kleingelds gibt es nur Schwierigkeiten. Die Hoffnung auf Rettung lastet auf Schultern, die unterschiedlicher nicht sein könnten: einem wohnungslosen Handwerker mit Feder im Haar, einem Ritter aus dem Seniorenheim, einer Prinzessin in Designerjeans und einem Straßenkind mit grünen Haaren und frecher Klappe.

Im Sommer 2037 haben Perry Rhodan und seine Gefährten endlich das Arkon-System erreicht, das Zentrum des Großen Imperiums. In einem Sternhaufen außerhalb der Milchstraße ballen sich zahlreiche besiedelte Sonnensystemen, und Arkon selbst ist eine Ansammlung faszinierender Welten ... Doch zum Staunen bleibt den Menschen keine Zeit: Sie müssen das sogenannte Epetran-Archiv finden und die Koordinaten der Erde daraus löschen. Diese Koordinaten dürfen nicht in die Hand mächtiger Arkoniden fallen - denn diese würden keine Sekunde zögern, die Erde zu vernichten.

Das größte Sternenreich der Milchstraße umfasst Tausende von Planeten und wird von einem Regenten beherrscht, der die Menschen hasst. Bekommt er die Position der Erde in seine Hände, droht der Angriff des Imperiums auf die Heimat der Menschheit.
