Avontuur Classics #1839

In "De robot-geest," Professor Bertram Wade, exiled for his radical belief in robots, channels his mind into the artificial form of Nadmot, a machine now bent on vengeance against the North Am City Council. With Nadmot leading a growing rebellion, the President must confront a foe that is no longer just metal and wire—but a mind driven by human fury.

In the quiet hum of space, a returning Earth-bound ship nears home—only to be swallowed by a strange pink cloud that severs all communication. At Earth Space Control, panic spreads: the cloud is psycho-gas, a failed defense experiment that leaves anyone who breathes it helpless. As the ship’s crew collapses, a calm voice cuts through the static—Zarz, an alien pilot, insists he can guide them down. With no other choice, Control listens, and the ship begins its descent, guided by a voice from beyond the storm.
