"We have met with purpose, John Koenig," Arra tells him. "My people will mutate into a higher life form while yours will populate the deepest regions of space! We must not fail."	This corpse was once Dr. Rowland. That was before he left Ultima Thule aboard Eagle 1. He did not listen to Tanner's warning that, "Thule will never let us go. Never!"
Alan Carter is caught in the explosion of an asteroid on a collision course with the Moon. Koenig and Morrow set out to rescue him and discover that the Moon is again on a collision course with a gigantic planet. After returning the injured Car- ter to Moonbase Alpha, Koenig sets out to obtain additional data on the planet from his Eagle's onboard computers. This is necessary since the plasma cloud from the first explosion is blocking Alpha's sen- sors. As he nears the planet, his Eagle is drawn aboard a giant spaceship. Inside, Koenig meets Arra, the aged Queen of the planet Astheria. She tells Koenig that he must let the planets collide for the great purpose of mutation. Back on Alpha, Helena, believing Koenig is suffering from radiation sickness, sedates the Com- mander. But Arra brings both Alan and the Commander out of their sleep and they prevent Alpha's last chance from avoiding collision. The worlds collide--with an incredible result! Arra: MARGARET LEIGHTON	Alpha receives a distress signal from a planet with a surface temperature of 200º below zero. Landing in the howling wind Koenig, Helena, Bergman, and Carter search for the people who called to them. They discover the survivors of the Uranus expedition of 1986, led by Captain Jack Tanner and Dr. Cabot Rowland, who claim to have been alive on the frozen planet of Ultima Thule for 880 years! They have found the secret of eternal life and want to share it with the Alphans, but the price is submitting to experiments in the hope of uncovering the secret of eternal life. Unfortunately, they have already left many Thulians mindless husks. The Alphans must choose; eternal life at the cost of becoming human white mice for Dr. Rowland's experiments or wandering space-- perhaps forever. But they soon learn Thule's price is even more deadly. Dr. Cabot Rowland: BRAIN BLESSED Captain Jack Tanner: JOHN SHRAPNEL Freda: MARY MILLER
