the first manned terrestrial moon rocket, has returned to Earth. He has landed in the Gobi Desert, where he has established a base with the help of the supertechnology of the Arkonides, a human type race from the centre of the galaxy whose explorer spaceship had crash-landed on the moon, where it was discovered by Perry Rhodan. Thanks to the equipment from the supertechnology of the Arkonides, the base in the Gobi Desert can defy any attack from the great powers of the Earth. Perry Rhodan has already prevented World War III … but he wants much more! His goal is to bring about the unification of all mankind. But mankind is not yet ready for Perry Rhodan’s plans, and therefore, the battle continues for The Radiant Dome. CHAPTER ONE "… FOR THE TIME BEING I shall not even remotely consider giving up our position. I shall not resign myself to handing over to the NATO countries the knowledge acquired on our moon expedition." The tall man with the lean face pushed down hard on the STOP button of his tape recorder. Both reels stopped abruptly. Major Perry Rhodan, test pilot of the U.S. Space Force, commander of the first manned moon landing expedition, looked around in deep thought. The control panel centre of the Stardust was as narrow and crowded as befitted a spaceship of her size. The steel lids of both hatches, hermetically sealed during the space flight, were now wide-open. Through the thick quartz panes the vast yellow brown expanses of the Gobi Desert were visible. Only to the right of the moon rocket, which had landed here like an airplane, could some sparse vegetation be seen. This was the thin green strip growing on the banks of a small river known as Morin-gol. Just a few miles farther to the north, the river flowed in the big Goshun salt lake, whose southern shore formed part of the Chinese Mongolian border. To the south of the Stardust lay the infamous central Gobi. Apart from a few small settlements nestled around the rare waterholes, and the military installations of the Asiatic Federation, there existed hardly a trace of human life in these desolate parts. The grim realization flashed through Perry Rhodan’s mind that this desolation had been altered quite suddenly and radically. Through narrowed eyes he gazed through the quartz window toward the east. Beyond the riverbed where the tiny settlement of Dahoba could barely be seen, quite a few things had changed. The military air base, formerly nothing nut a miserable training camp, seemed to have turned overnight into a major airport. The concentration of military forces was enormous. The massed troops of the outstanding Asiatic elite units evoked the impression that they were getting ready for an invasion. Rhodan’s eye wandered over to the tent close to the moon rocket.
