Otto, in Gestalt eines Jovianers, versucht an Informationen heranzukommen, die Future in die Nähe des Sternenkaisers bringen könnte. Doch was Otto nicht ahnt, ist, dass die Jovanier genau das zu verhindern versuchen. Denn sie wollen nicht, dass auch nur ein Erdenmensch sich in ihre Angelegenheiten einmischt. Sie wollen für sich selber zuständig sein. Und das Privileg werden sie verteidigen ... bis aufs Blut.

Er weiß es nicht. Und eben diese Unentschlossenheit ist es, die sich sein Gegner, Doktor Zarro, zunutze machen will. Future muss herausfinden, wie er die verloren gegangenen Spuren wieder aufnehmen kann. Und er weiß, dass die "Welt der Illusionen" für ihn zu einer tödlichen Gefahr werden kann.

Captain Future ist in eine Falle getappt! Ohne zu ahnen, wer sein wahrer Gegner ist, hat er sich einer Gefahr gestellt, die ihn Kopf und Kragen kosten kann. Denn während er gegen eine Übermacht an Feinden kämpft, um die dunkle Bedrohung abzuwehren, die das Sonnensystem unterwerfen will, erhebt sich ein weiterer unberechenbarer Feind: die Legion der Verdammten.

Menschen verändern sich. Sie verändern ihre Gestalt - plötzlich bricht es aus ihnen heraus. Da, wo eben noch Haut war, sprießt plötzlich Haar. Gesichter, eben noch menschlich, verformen sich - werden zu entstellten, hässlichen Fratzen, die einem Affen ähneln. Und sie werden brutal. So brutal, dass keiner vor ihrem tief in ihnen brodelnden Zorn mehr in Sicherheit ist.

Future weiß, dass er dem Sternenkaiser dicht auf den Fersen ist. Und Future ist bewusst, dass in die Enge getriebene Hunde beißen. Denn der Sternenkaiser weiß, dass vor Eifer blinde Männer anfällig sind. Und der Sternenkaiser nutzt sein Wissen - eiskalt.

Einen Moment lang herrschte betroffenes Schweigen. Jeder um die Future Crew wusste, was das bedeutete und was um sie herum geschah. Und in die Stille ertönte ein Geräusch, das aus nördlicher Richtung zu ihnen drang - das anhaltende, dumpfe Pochen jovianischer Erdtrommeln.

Future jagt den Sternenkaiser. Er weiß, dass er in tödliche Gefahren geraten kann, wenn er versucht dem heimtückischen Verbrecher das Handwerk zu legen. Trotzdem aber reist er zum Jupiter, um die Verfolgung des Mannes aufzunehmen, der so viele Menschen ins Chaos gestürzt hat. Was Future nicht weiß - der Sternenkaiser erwartet ihn und hat eine tödliche Falle für ihn vorbereitet.

Captain Future ist sich sicher, eine weitere Spur entdeckt zu haben, die ihn hinter die Machenschaften von Doktor Zarro führen kann. Dafür muss er mit der Future-Crew zum Cerberus reisen. Dort liegt das gefährlichste Gefängnis unseres Sonnensystems. Die dunkle Festung wird zu einer neuen Bedrohung für Future und seine Männer, denn auch hier warten tödliche Gefahren auf ihn, die bisher kein Sterblicher jemals zuvor überlebt hat.
