Secret invaders (STAR-DUST 17)

Sigurd and Alethea are back in one body. The planet ANUN'HA, where they are staying, was once a living entity. Today, on one of two continents there stands the Star Ziggurat, the sole legacy of a very old star people, the Ancient Race of Krsutner. The second continent is populated by human-like intelligence. They call themselves Akkattarians. When the so-called 'Secret Invaders' appeared from stars over a generation ago, society was in turmoil. King Samsi-Rohh II, the head of AKKATTA, tries to minimize the economic exploitation by the weaponry-superior aliens. When the star ziggurat suddenly becomes active and attacks the spaceships of the 'secret invaders', things finally escalate. Sigurd is involuntarily drawn into the incipient conflict and at the same time has to defend himself against the tablets of fate still in his shoulder, which have begun to manipulate him. His goal of finding a way back to Earth suddenly seems a long way off. His goal of finding a way back to Earth suddenly seems a long way off.
