Description:
2348. Humans emigrate easily
from one planet to another and peaceful contact is made with
many races of alien beings. Yet problems arise with certain
races, so the Earth Federation begins researching a plasma-power
weapon to protect Earth. The top physicist for the Earth
Federation, Dr. Edward Bilstein, uncovers the secret to
humanity's "sixth sense": a technique for capturing the energy
of the human mind. The plasma weapon is built, using mental
power as its basis. Bilstein reaches fame and fortune for the
invention, but is quickly exiled when it is revealed actual
human bodies were used in his experiments. Bilstein is placed in
a floating prison cell that orbits the planet Zeta, and
development of the plasma weapon is suspended.
Word ofthe Earth's possession of a super-weapon spreads
throughout the heavens, and the solar system becomes a peaceful
place. The name Edward Bilstein is completely forgotten. Until
four years later. . .
A report from Zeta states that a Federation army base was
attacked and immediately destroyed by a small group of rebels
calling themselves the "Fourth Empire." Several other similar
reports come out of other nearby planets. The pattern of attacks
leads back to Earth, so the Federation believes Bilstein is
coming back for revenge.
A man as dangerous as Edward Bilstein can be stopped in only one
way. He must be attacked before he reaches Earth. The Federation
Army hastily organizes people who can utilize the Plasma weapons
against their own creator and battle the "Fourth Empire." All
Earth's hopes rest in the project code named "Star Gladiator." |
