Immer häufiger werden Planeten der Milchstraße aus dem Unsichtbaren attackiert und auf geheimnisvolle Weise entvölkert. Atlan, der Unsterbliche, erinnert sich an ähnliche Vorfälle in ferner Vergangenheit, als er auf der Erde die "Festung Atlantis" errichtete.

Um ihre zweite Zelldusche zu erhalten, machen sich Perry Rhodan und Reginald Bull zum Planeten Wanderer auf. Doch der Kunstplanet der Superintelligenz ES befindet sich nicht mehr an seinem alten Platz.

Dreißig Millionen Lichtjahre von der Erde entfernt: Die Galaktische Flotte unter Perry Rhodans Kommando steht einer riesigen Übermacht gegenüber, der Endlosen Armada. Rhodans 20.000 Raumschiffe haben keine Chance gegen den gigantischen Heerwurm, mit dem sie am Frostrubin konfrontiert werden - ihnen bleibt nur die Flucht durch das kosmische Gebilde. Doch danach sind die Raumer aus der Milchstraße im Sternenmeer der fernen Galaxis M 82 verstreut.

Die Endlose Armada - in weiten Teilen des Universums ist dieser gigantische Heerwurm längst zur Legende geworden. Millionen von Raumschiffen ziehen seit einer Ewigkeit durch die Weiten des Kosmos.

Im Randgebiet einer zerstörten Kleingalaxis stößt die Galaktische Flotte unter dem Kommando von Perry Rhodan auf die Endlose Armada.

On paper, college dropout Pablo Rind doesn’t have a whole lot going for him. His graveyard shift at a 24-hour deli in Brooklyn is a struggle. Plus, he’s up to his eyeballs in credit card debt. Pop juggernaut Leanna Smart has enough social media followers to populate whole continents. The brand is unstoppable. Her life is a queasy blur of private planes, step-and-repeats, aspirational hotel rooms, and strangers screaming for her just to notice them. When Leanna and Pablo meet at 5:00 a.m. at the bodega in the dead of winter it’s absurd to think they’d be A Thing.

Die künstlich geschaffene Hohlwelt im Leerraum zwischen der Milchstraße und der Andromeda-Galaxis ist die vollkommenste Falle, der Menschen jemals begegnet sind.
