The amazed Alphans reach up to catch the rain falling from the lunar sky. Their "new Earth" is a wonderful gift from the creatures on the planet Ariel.	Dr. Ernst Linden leads Koenig, Helena, and Bergman into the control room of Voyager One. Within the banks of the probe's computer is a fantastic amount of priceless information about deep space.
Hopes of a new home arise once more as the runaway Moon encounters the Earth- like planet Ariel. If the Moon enters or- bit, the gravity will be the same as the Earth-Moon relationship. During a probe of the planet however, a small satellite attaches itself to Eagle 1's command mod- ule. Hundreds of other satellites follow it back to the Moon. Upon arrival, the satellites adjust the Moon's gravity to Earth-normal and fill the lunar sky with fresth air. The Alphans have been given their own atmosphere-rich world. For days they take in the Sun, rain and open air, until it is learned that the Moon will not go into orbit, but continue on out past the Sun. Without sunlight, the at- mosphere will freeze and Moonbase will be crushed under megatons of ice! The benev- olent inhabitants of Ariel, however, have realized this and sent their satellites back to return the Moon to its normal state. But Helena, Paul, Alan and an in- jured Sandra have crashed somewhere on the lunar surface and must be found be- fore the atmosphere goes!	Voyager One, a malfunctioning, fast, neu- tron-powered spaceprobe from 1985 is head- ing toward Alpha. Somehow, the probe's engines must be switched over to chemical rockets before its neutron wake destroys Alpha. There is some hope because Voy- ager's creator, Dr. Ernst Queller is on Alpha as Ernst Linden. He is using an as- sumed identity because his Queller Drive killed many people back on Earth due to a malfunction. Despite his injury suffered in an attack from a technician who has learned his true identity and wants re- venge for the death of his parents, Quel- ler shuts down the Voyager and safely brings it down. However, the probe has been followed by three alien spacecraft from a planet all buy destroyed by the Queller Drive. Now they wish to take their re- venge on Alpha.
