Im Jahr 2036 entdeckt der Astronaut Perry Rhodan auf dem Mond ein außerirdisches Raumschiff. Damit erschließt er der Menschheit den Weg zu den Sternen. In den Weiten der Milchstraße treffen die Menschen auf Gegner und Freunde; es folgen Fortschritte und Rückschläge. Nach 2051 wird die Erde unbewohnbar, während Milliarden Menschen an einen unbekannten Ort umgesiedelt werden. 2055 reist Perry Rhodan mit dem riesigen Raumschiff MAGELLAN in die Galaxis Andromeda, findet dort aber nichts über die vermisste Erdbevölkerung heraus. Er will in die Milchstraße zurückkehren.

Die Situation in der Milchstraße ist zum Jahresbeginn 1289 Neuer Galaktischer Zeitrechnung ziemlich angespannt. Mysteriöse Igelschiffe kreuzen in der Galaxis; sie haben schon mehrere Planeten besetzt und komplett von der Außenwelt abgeschnitten.

Dort stößt Rhodan auf eine mächtige Roboterzivilisation: die Posbis. Sie suchen das "wahre Leben" - und vernichten jegliche anderen Geschöpfe.

Um diesen Krieg zu verhindern, sucht Rhodan Verbündete - und gerät in die Fänge der Nabedu, einer Splittergruppe der Posbis.

Mit ihrer überlegenen Technik reißen sie die Macht an sich. Perry Rhodan entkommt mit seinen Mitstreitern ins All, wo er nach Hilfe sucht. Immerhin versprechen die mächtigen Liduuri ihre Unterstützung; doch sie stellen ebenfalls Forderungen an die Terraner.
