In the Greater Imperium of the Arkonides it is the year 10496 A (for Arkon)-a time corresponding to the earthly year of 9003 B.C. Thus it is a time in which the inhabitants of Earth are yet submerged in primitive barbarianism, knowing neither of the stars nor of the great heritage of vanished Lemuria. By contrast-and despite the great war against the Maahks-Arkon is in its fullest prime. The present Imperator of this vast domain is Orbanoshol III, a man of brutality and cunning who is rumoured to have instigated the death of his brother, Gonozal VII, in order to take over the rulership for himself. Even though Orbanoshol III has firmly established his dominion, there is one man whom the Emperor of Arkon still must fear: Atlan, the rightful heir to the throne. After Gonozal's death, this one had disappeared without a trace, along with the former physician to Gonozal VII. But the death of his father had occurred during Atlan's earliest childhood, and he has no knowledge of his true origin. Having arrived to young manhood in the meantime, he lives with Fratulon, Gonozal's former physician, on a remote planet where he experiences a dangerous adventure in the SPIDER DESERT
