Basra is the eternal city - a paradise filled with relics of the old world. We are welcomed into the upper sanctum of Basranian society where sly smiles and wicked eyes tempt us with riches and lavish comfort, yet something seems hopelessly wrong. The city is decaying. A rotten core with a deadly key that unlocks something even more sinister. As an ambassador for Tartarus, it's my duty to bridge the gap between us and the other cities. But even more, as part of this team, it's my right to know the truth.

Das Jahr 2090: Ein halbes Jahrhundert nachdem die Menschheit ins All aufgebrochen ist, bildet die Solare Union die Basis eines friedlich wachsenden Sternenreichs. Aber die Sicherheit der Menschen ist immer wieder gefährdet: durch interne Konflikte und externe Gegner. Beispielsweise sucht eine unheimliche Macht die Galaxis heim - das Dunkelleben. Eigentlich hat Perry Rhodan gehofft, diese Gefahr im galaktischen Zentrum gebannt zu haben. Nach seiner Rückkehr muss er aber erkennen, dass der Feind längst nicht besiegt ist.

Fünfzig Jahre nachdem die Menschheit zu den Sternen aufgebrochen ist, haben Kolonisten die ersten Siedlungen auf dem Mond oder Mars sowie auf mehreren Planeten außerhalb des Sonnensystems errichtet.

Anwyn's family has always assumed that she'd follow in the footsteps of her illustrious mother and uncle as a diplomat and eventual head of state. But Anwyn is an impulsive rule-breaker, and she's made other plans: getting off her home planet and seeing the galaxy after training as a starship pilot.

Something is rotten in the heart of Alexandria and Julius Strathclyde is in trouble. He appears to have summoned the gods, which is driving his partner, Neith Salah, insane. Not to mention all the other ultra-rational citizens of Alpha earth. It gets worse. The gods set a challenge that can't be refused. The race is on to find the lost blueprints for the Quantum Stepper. Whoever possesses them will be able to unlock the stepper's true potential. The game is afoot and the outcome is terrifying. All of time and space will be under the control of the victors; to protect, or to plunder.

Anwyn Owens, a starship pilot for the Malcolm Star Circus, seeks a new venue for their performances. The massive space station carved out of an asteroid seems like the perfect opportunity. Her politically prominent uncle entrusts her with a message for the station's owner, while a team of operatives she's encountered before has their own agenda. Anwyn must navigate these challenges while considering her future and a second chance to join the team.

With the old circus manager safely in jail, things should be going well at the circus where Anwyn Owens is assistant pilot. But when the aging starship that serves as their home breaks down, all the ingenuity of Anwyn and head pilot Jemal can't get things working again. The solution: head for the pirate planet of Open Port where Jemal knows of a salvage yard that just might have the necessary used part for sale.

Anwyn Owens won her place at a prestigious starship pilot's program on Earth and graduated with honors. But nothing could have prepared her when she followed the advice of her uncle's old friend and took a job as assistant pilot for an intergalactic circus.
