β¦ Synopsis
THOMAS CARDIF, the renegade, has taken Perry Rhodan's place as Administrator of the Solar Imperium and nobody-neither Perry Rhodan's closest friends nor the mutants-suspects that a doppelganger is at the helm. Although Cardif's behaviour does not live up to the standards expected of Perry Rhodan, his strange conduct is presumably explained by the shock Rhodan's mental health has suffered when he was captured by the Antis. Thus Cardif the usurper feels triumphant that nobody has seen through him and feels he can rule to his heart's content. The question remains, however, how long can he keep it up, because the Antis, Cardif's supporters and accomplices, can unmask the false Administrator any time. Moreover, IT, the non-corporeal being from the planet Wanderer, has seen through his shameful game and started the counteraction of which the first phase is the-- Wonderflower of Utik!
