Somehow Koenig has been teleported to the beautiful planet Zenno. He begins to wonder how good it would be to stay and live out his life with Raan's daughter Vana.	A picture of statuesque beauty and unearthly elegance, the Guardian strolls out of the tower entrance toward the startled Koenig, "Welcome to Piri," she greets him, "the end of your journey."
To the men and women of Alpha, Koenig appears to be in a deep coma and at the point of death after a fatal Eagle crash. Koenig, however, finds himself alive and well on the planet Zenno. He has been kidnapped by an alien anthropologist named Raan who believes Koenig's people to be the missing link in the evolutionary ascent of the Zennites. The alien is attempt- ing to bridge the gap between his race's current evolutionary status and their barbaric ancestors of a billion years ago. While under study, Koenig falls in love with Vana, Raan's daughter. But, without the command of John Koenig, Alpha is on the brink of chaos. Now he must choose between the peaceful life of Zenno and his place on Alpha. Raan: PETER CUSHING Vana: JOANNA DUNHAM	Alpha's computer is under the control of the Guardian of Piri. The computer reports that Piri is the perfect world that they have been searching for. In reality, it is lifeless except for the presence of an incredibly beautiful woman who serves the Guardian. Lured by the Guardian's illu- sions, the Alphans, except for Koenig, who knows the truth behind Piri's spell, take to the Eagles and travel to the pla- net's surface. Time stands still on Piri and Koenig sees it as a living death for the Alphans who have abandoned the Moon. Alone on Alpha, Koenig must devise a scheme that will release his people from eternal service to the mysterious Guard- ian. Servant of the Guardian: CATHERINE SCHELL Pete Irving: MICHAEL CULVER
