The Space Star Silver Streak has been seized by the tyrannical Captain Edmonds, a power-hungry despot who has declared martial law and suspended the Congressional Council. All those who oppose him have been marooned on the barren planet Asturias II. But Captain Richard Cameron is back...and he's mad! With Frank Johnson, Jack Hasta, and Philippe Stargazer, Cameron sets sail aboard the Hyron Galactic Cruiser Odyssey to take back his ship! But the task is not easy. Edmonds has laid traps in his path. There are members of the crew loyal to Edmonds. And the Hyron commander Mordrax, still sworn to Cameron's destruction, trails the Odyssey with his formidable Hyron Dreadnought Invincible!
On a mission to circumnavigate the universe, the crew of the Eldorado discovers an entire hidden universe, separated from our universe by the speed of light, composed of temporal dimensions. Yet the astronauts, their overtaxed minds pushed beyond rational thought, are increasingly unable to study the very phenomena they were sent to discover. Then the fighting breaks out. Colleagues gun one another down, friends turn against friends, and in the irrational combat the ship itself is damaged. The mission itself is part of the structure of the cosmos; the end of time is both the cause and the effect of the relativistic journey. Human nature becomes part of the physics of spacetime, and whoever controls the Eldorado controls the fate of the universe.
Richard Cameron, Frank Johnson, Jack Hasta, and Philippe Stargazer have returned from their incredible adventure in the 51st century, but the Space Star Silver Streak is nevertheless still badly damaged from the terrifying battle with the Hyron Admiral Mordrax and his mighty Terminator battleship. Moreover, Mordrax continues to press the attack. In an attempt to repair the dilapidated starship, Cameron steers the Silver Streak to a long-established French colony in hopes of finding an infrastructure sophisticated enough to help. What our stalwart heroes find is completely unexpected. The colony has regressed to a pre-industrial, superstitious level--and lording over the colony is an awesome entity known as Shalonn--the most powerful life form the crew has ever encountered! And their only contact with the mysterious being is Celesta, a woman who bears an astonishing resemblance to Stargazer's descendant, Servanne, who was left to perish in the 51st century.
The year is 2978. The exploration starship Sunburst is the Earth-Mars Confederation Explorer Force's new flagship, the greatest technological marvel in human history, guaranteed to open the frontier of the galaxy. Nearly a mile long, the Sunburst is like a self-contained world, and life on board is a fairy tale. When a freak accident sets the huge starship ablaze, with power out, the airlocks jammed, and communications impossible, all is chaos, and the wonderland of the Sunburst becomes a journey through hell...
At long last, the Hyron commander Mordrax has triumphed. Captain Richard Cameron is taken prisoner aboard Mordrax's Galactic Cruiser Stendar and brought to the planet Hyron for public execution. But at the moment of execution, Cameron is rescued by a band of revolutionaries, desperate freedom fighters who recruit Cameron's help in overthrowing the power-hungry despot who has seized the throne of Hyron. Meanwhile, Cameron's own ship, the Silver Streak, has been taken over by a despot of its own. And though forbidden to attempt any rescue of Cameron, nothing will stop Frank Johnson, Jack Hasta, and Philippe Stargazer from doing all they can to help their old friend-even if it means disobeying the Congressional Council, defying the new captain, and turning fugitive!

The epic voyage of the Space Star Silver Streak has come to an end. The survivors of the tragic destruction of Earth live contented lives on the colonies the Silver Streak spent so many years establishing. Old friends have gone their separate ways. But then an awesome force enters our galaxy. Emitting radiation more powerful than anything ever seen in our galaxy before, it sweeps away entire planets in its path. Seventeen colonies are wiped out. Those who manage to escape in time are stranded in space in slow-moving vehicles. Only the Space Star Silver Streak and Captain Richard Cameron stand a chance of rescuing the survivors and dealing with this awesome menace. But Hyron worlds have been destroyed too . . . and Mordrax is on his way to a deadly rendezvous with his old enemy!
In the depths of space, on the twentieth anniversary of the supernova that destroyed the Earth, the Space Star Silver Streak comes across an ancient space probe containing the infamous warlord of World War III, Diana Krotus, who has been discovered by Captain Cameron's old enemy Joshua Caruso. When Krotus is revived, she turns out to be a more complex person than the supervillain of history. But Caruso still plots revenge against Cameron, and Krotus has her own reasons to take over the Silver Streak. The ensuing plot sows discord among the Silver Streak's command crew, sunders lifelong friendships, and pits the command section against the civilian section, as the distant past intrudes into the present.
