action
Eight spaceships disappear near the “Margot” space station. Professor Maria Scholl, together with the supreme council, issued a starting ban for all other spaceships. Nevertheless, a spaceship manages to leave Earth, and at the same time radio contact with the giant space station "Margot" is broken off. The trigger for all the strange events: enigmatic encrypted Morse code from the many light-years distant constellation Cygnus reach the earth. Your decryption results in the word "Eolomea". It appears to be a planet. Maria Scholl sets out on the risky journey to the “Margot” space station to reveal the secret. There she meets the unmotivated space captain Daniel Lagny, with whom she had already fallen in love on his last Earth vacation. In the end it turns out that a secretly planned expedition sets off against the will of the government with stolen spaceships to Eolomea. Daniel Lagny, who actually wanted to quit his job, is needed as a pilot and actually decides on the long flight to Eolomea.
Reviews
"If technology, the external vision of the future, dominated in ' The Silent Star ' and 'Signals', if people appeared unjustifiably small and rigid, more type than character, Wagenstein penetrates the psyche of his heroes and tells their moving stories and fortunes' So of the old, experienced, kind pilot Kun, who dutifully performs his service in space, but longs for the earth, to his son, so of the creative, pushing Professor Tal, who wants to solve the Eolomea riddle in the dubious and criticizable single-handedness , so from the casual-boyish cosmonaut Daniel Lagny, who has finished his job, but is there without big words when new cosmonaut dimensions are to be conquered. Bloody people come to life in conflict-ridden probation situations, demanding behaviors, quasi contemporaries of tomorrow. "
