Who really are the rebels?,
By
This review is from: The Rebels of Tuglan (Perry Rhodan #12) (Mass Market Paperback)
In book 12 of this Space Opera, Rhodan & crew take a detour from their quest for the Planet of Eternal Life.
After the adventures of "The Planet of the Dying Sun", Rhodan's seemingly final jump to the Planet of Eternal Life is interrupted by a miscalculation in the hyper jump transition. But is it a mistake? It turns out that the coordinates were intentionally reset by a stowaway. When they finally find their extra passenger, they are surprised to find it is one of the mouse-beavers from the planet Vagabond that they just left. But this mouse-beaver is different from its companions. It, too, is a mutant. Although his powers of telekinesis and telepathy are common for its kind, his ability to remain intelligent for the entire day and night is unique. The little Mouse-Beaver (who is, at first, christened "Emby") proves invaluable during Rhodan's side quest to Tuglan. The new coordinates have taken the Stardust to an Arkonide ruled planet many light years from either Vagabond, or the Planet of Eternal Life, or Vega. Rhodan and friends must discover who the real "Rebels of Tuglan" are and stop them. But are the rebels to help the ones that want to receive freedom from Arkonide rule, or are the rebels to help the ones that want to remain part of the Arkonide Empire? You'll be surprised at the answer to that question. From here we move to the conclusion of this "band" - "The Immortal Unknown". At the very end of this book, you finally get to read the final name of the little mouse-beaver - a character who will become a vital member of Rhodan's Mutant Corps, and an equally important "foil" for Reginald Bell. "Emby's" relationship with Bell, which reminds me so much of the love/hate relationship between Star Trek's Spock and Dr. McCoy, becomes a great tension reliever in later books, and one of my favorite things to read. I've never been this impressed by a series. I'm reminded of the old cliffhangers like "Buck Rodgers" or "Flash Gordon" when reading these marvelous books - a series that is still being published in Germany and is now well over 1,800 volumes. It's too bad American publishers stopped these after only about 125 books. I had to learn to speak, read, and write German in order to continue reading Perry Rhodan. This book also contains another editorial, another science fiction movie section, and another fan letters page. Well worth reading the entire series.
