    Die Menschheit hat die Planeten unseres Sonnensystems besiedelt, aber Krieg und Armut sind deshalb längst nicht überwunden. Die irdische Zentralregierung herrscht mit harter Hand über die Außenwelten. Doch unter der Oberfläche schwelt die Rebellion. Eric John Stark ist ein Außenseiter, aufgewachsen unter den Ureinwohnern der lebensfeindlichen Welt des Merkur, die an der Schwelle zwischen Mensch und Tier stehen. Er befindet sich auf der Flucht vor dem Gesetz, weil er Rebellen auf der Venus mit Waffen versorgt hat. Dabei verschlägt es ihn auf den Mars, wo das uralte Vermächtnis einer fremden Zivilisation schlummert. Wer sich seiner bedient, spielt mit Kräften, an die der Mensch nicht rühren sollte ... Drei Space-Opera-Abenteuer aus der großen Zeit der Pulp-Magazine, in denen Leigh Brackett beweist, dass es bereits damals möglich war, Klischees zu hinterfragen und die Erwartungen der Leser:innen zu unterlaufen.

    Len Colter und sein Vetter Esau wachsen in einer Welt auf, die sich von der unseren grundlegend unterscheidet: Nach einem Atomkrieg, der sämtliche Städte zerstörte, wurde die Verfassung der Vereinigten Staaten um einen Zusatzartikel erweitert, der es den Menschen nur noch gestattet, in kleinen Dörfern zusammenzuleben. Das ganze Land ist von religiöser Demut geprägt und von einfachsten agrarischen Verhältnissen. Die beiden jungen Burschen wollen sich damit jedoch nicht zufriedengeben. Nachdem Len und Esau auf ein technisches Wunderwerk stoßen, das ihnen ein anderes Leben verspricht, machen sie sich auf die Suche nach dem geheimnisvollen, kulturell hochentwickelten »Bartorstown« - und entdecken eine Welt, in der im Ringen mit der Vergangenheit über die Zukunft entschieden wird. Ein in seiner pastoralen Schlichtheit überwältigender Roman, der uns, bei aller Ambivalenz, vor Augen führt, was wirklich wichtig ist.

    Mel Gray flung down his hoe with a sudden tigerish fierceness and stood erect. Tom Ward, working beside him, glanced at Gray's Indianesque profile, the youth of it hardened by war and the hells of the Eros prison blocks.A quick flash of satisfaction crossed Ward's dark eyes. Then he grinned and said mockingly."Hell of a place to spend the rest of your life, ain't it?"Mel Gray stared with slitted blue eyes down the valley. The huge sun of Mercury seared his naked body. Sweat channeled the dust on his skin. His throat ached with thirst. And the bitter landscape mocked him more than Wade's dark face."The rest of my life," he repeated softly. "The rest of my life!"He was twenty-eight.Wade spat in the damp black earth. "You ought to be glad -- helping the unfortunate, building a haven for the derelict. . . ."
