3.0

Been reading the old sci-fi serial series from the 60's Perry Rhodan this year (originally in German, these are the paperback translations published here in the early 70's). A lot of story setup and character introductions in this volume. Reading these more for nostalgia, as I'd pick up a volume here and there as a teen and could never quite follow what the heck was going on. So I'm starting at the beginning in my middle age to see what I missed. Story is obviously very dated, having been written fifty years ago, and that's the way to read these, remembering what the world & society & technology was in its time, to appreciate some aspects. But this particular one was a little slower moving than the previous two.
