5.0 out of 5 stars Discover the best kept secret of Germany, November 12, 2004

This review is from: The Secret of the Time Vault (Perry Rhodan #6) (Mass Market Paperback)

After over a year's absence from American newsstands, Rho-fans were pleased when "The Secret of the Time Vault" finally reached booksellers. Contract negotiations had stalled, and there was a severe lapse in publication, but for quite a while that lapse was to be nullified.

"Secret of the Time Vault" became the first Rhodan novel to be published almost exactly the way it had been in Germany - complete with editorials, illustrations, and a readers department.

But that doesn't mean that this story wasn't just as entertaining as the first five.

With the aid of his Mutant Corps, Perry Rhodan begins the human quest to complete what his Arkonide friends had been looking for when they crash landed on the moon - the Planet of Eternal Life. Rhodan cracks the Secret of the Time Vault with the aid of his mutant friends and prepares us to discover "The Fortress of the Six Moons"

I found the readers department (at the time of publication) to be invaluable. Here, so many years before the Internet and Instant Messaging and Web Pages, was a way for me to not only get in touch with the translators of a book I really enjoyed, but with fellow fans as well.

Here is the start of a very short "band" - or series of interconnected stories. It comes to it's prime conclusion several books from this one. Get everything through the "The Planet of Eternal Life" and I think you'll be just as "hooked" as I was.

This review is from: The Secret of the Time Vault (Perry Rhodan #6) (Mass Market Paperback)

Rhodan manages the hyperjump in the Arkonide space sphere. Communicating with Earth starts some frantic shipbuilding activity.

Returning to Ferron, with more of the Mutant Corps and reinforcements enables them to demoralise the Topide fleet, causing them to fight among themselves, and leave. Teleporters, telekinetics, telepaths, hypnos, telescopic vision, x-ray vision and other talents being employed all turn out to be a bit much for them.

Rhodan learns that it was aliens that brought the matter transmitter technology to the Ferrons, and there is a secret vault they have never been able to penetrate, in one of their bases, holding some secrets to the technology.

Combining several mutant talents to see what is going on inside the vault, Rhodan is able to talk Ras Tschubai, a teleporter, through the process of retrieving a box containing technological information, and perhaps a key to finding the planet of eternal life, something the Topides were also interested in.
