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.

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 zurück! Und er muss erneut die Erde retten, denn ein toter Stern droht auf die Erde zu fallen! Eine neue, bisher vollkommen unbekannte Bedrohung ist dabei, die Kontrolle über das Sonnensystem an sich zu reißen.

"Ich kenne diese Leute!", ruft Simon, das fliegende das Gehirn. "Das ist Robert Jones, der merkurianische Astronom, und Henry Gellimer, der Astrophysiker von der Erde, und auch ihre Familien! Das sind die vermissten und entführten Wissenschaftler!" "Das ist richtig", bestätigt Doktor Zarro grimmig und bringt Captain Future und die Future-Crew somit erneut in tödliche Gefahr. Denn er hat nur noch ein Ziel: Future und seine Freunde zu vernichten, koste es, was es wolle.

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.
