Perry Rhodan ist ein Gefangener der Superintelligenz BARDIOC. Auf der zentralen Welt dieses unbegreiflichen Wesens nimmt er teil an dessen Planung und Gedanken. Seit Jahrmillionen ist BARDIOC ein träumendes Gehirn, das seine Gedanken wie ein Netz über mehrere Galaxien auswirft. Vor einer Ewigkeit aber gehörte das Wesen zum Bund der Mächtigen und war unsterblich. In riesigen Sporenschiffen reisten jene Mächtigen durch ferne Regionen des Universums.

Seit das terranische Fernraumschiff MARCO POLO in der fernen Galaxis Gruelfin operiert, haben die Terraner an Bord schon viel über die Machtverhältnisse in der Sterneninsel erfahren. Die meisten Welten werden von den menschenähnlichen Cappins bewohnt, das Hauptvolk sind die Takerer, und sie herrschen mit diktatorischer Gewalt über die anderen Cappins. Da die Takerer nun die MARCO POLO und ihre Besatzung als Feinde ansehen, werden die Terraner erbarmungslos gejagt.

In this landmark work of emerging African American womanist theology, Delores Williams finds in the biblical figure of Hagar-mother of Ishmael, cast into the desert by Abraham and Sarah, but protected by God - a prototype for the struggle of African-American women.

For over seventy years and five generations, the enslaved families of Prince George's County, Maryland, filed hundreds of suits for their freedom against a powerful circle of slaveholders, taking their cause all the way to the Supreme Court.

Piecing together evidence once dismissed in court and buried in the archives, William Thomas tells an intricate and intensely human story of the enslaved families.
