Nach wie vor droht die Vernichtung der solaren Menschheit durch den Todessatelliten, der unangreifbar in der Sonne schwebt. Um den Untergang zu verhindern, reist Perry Rhodan mit seinen Gefährten 200.000 Jahre in die Vergangenheit. Sein Ziel: die Installierung des Satelliten ungeschehen zu machen. Dazu benötigt er allerdings die Mithilfe des Supermutanten Ribald Corello. Bisher galt dieser als Menschheitsfeind Nummer eins - es ist nicht einfach, einen solchen Mann zu überzeugen, sich für Terra einzusetzen.

Nach wie vor sind Perry Rhodan und seine rund 5000 Begleiter an Bord der CREST IV in der kugelförmigen Galaxis M 87 gestrandet, gut zweiunddreißig Millionen Lichtjahre von der Milchstraße entfernt. Bei ihren Forschungsflügen entdecken sie den Kristallplaneten Monol, wo sie auf die Okefenokees treffen, entfernt menschenähnliche Wesen mit seltsamen Bräuchen. Mit dem dort erlangten Wissen beginnen die Terraner ein gefährliches Psychospiel mit den Beherrschern von M 87, an dessen Ende die Heimkehr in die Milchstraße stehen kann - oder der Untergang.

Nach den letzten Erfolgen der Terraner scheint die Macht der Meister der Insel schon so gut wie gebrochen, doch noch haben sie eine Reihe von gefährlichen Trümpfen in der Hand. Perry Rhodan und seine Spezialisten stehen vor der fast unlösbaren Aufgabe, die letzten und stärksten Bastionen der Beherrscher Andromedas auszuheben, die gewaltige Aufgebote an Raumschiffen und Duplos in die Schlacht schicken.

Im Jahr 2402 steht die Entscheidung bevor: Die Terraner stoßen nach Andro-Beta vor, einer Kleingalaxis im Vorfeld der großen Galaxis Andromeda...

Hypersignale rasen durch die Zwerggalaxis Andro-Beta; sie stürzen die Sterneninsel ins Chaos...

Auf der Erde sowie den anderen Planeten des Solsystems bereiten sich die Menschen auf die erwartete Großoffensive der sogenannten Zeitpolizei vor. Die Zeitpolizisten wollen die Terraner für ein Verbrechen bestrafen, das diese nie begangen haben. Die Hoffnung der Verantwortlichen ruht nun auf sechs winzigen Menschenwesen und einem Giganten aus Stahl: Siganesen gehen mit dem PALADIN-Roboter in einen Einsatz für Terra.

Immer noch zieht der mysteriöse Schwarm durch die Milchstraße; aufgrund der Strahlungswelle, die das kosmische Gebilde aussendet, werden die Bewohner der Galaxis in den Zustand der Verdummung versetzt. Auf zahllosen Welten herrschen Chaos und Verzweiflung. Nur wenige Immune gibt es, darunter Perry Rhodan, die terranischen Mutanten und die Zellaktivatorträger. Gemeinsam nehmen sie den Kampf gegen das grausame Schicksal und die unheimlichen Fremden auf, die den Sternenschwarm lenken. Mit einem kleinen Raumschiff, der GOOD HOPE, und einer verzweifelten Gruppe von Gefährten folgt Perry Rhodan den Schiffen des Schwarms.
