Content:
What is man? A highly spiritual creature, the only able to evolve into ever higher and left an indelible mark? Or does it only a passing phenomenon, a small, insignificant flare in never-ending cosmic structure? Maybe we'll find out soon. - The Department of Skyclad lands on a gloomy comet to carry out urgently needed external repairs. Soon make some changes to crew members firmly. They are restless, aggressive. Hearing voices that want to influence them. Judging from the dead rock any life-threatening radiation from? As Jay can solve the mystery of the comet, already the terror has spread to the ship and threatened to destroy it ...

Action:
After the Skyclad is lost episode in the microcosm during the first "Fractal", the damage caused now as far as tidy, worked the previous events, presented all the essential crew members and the listeners are introduced to the basic problem of the mission, explores "Stardust" the micro universe further. The second part is waiting there again with a philosophical intro and also includes the following an interesting thought: What if there is known in Great ones of the universe? Microscopic large and small stars, for example, which, because of their shape, however, are imperceptible to the human eye omnipresent. Thanks to such thoughts may "Fractal" are no less than conceived as inspiring science fiction radio drama series, which brings listeners closer physical and mental games as it prepares entertaining Hörstunden. Conveniently, are the sympathetic characters that provide a high degree of identification and to give to life. Above all, it is the first-person narrator Jay Jublonsky which provides the necessary identification. The focus of this second series also are horror elements. As remotely take superhuman powers to control over individual characters, whose actions fail suddenly strangely incomprehensible. To germinate psychological games on among the protagonists who represent the remaining characters to the test and creepy way are authentic. Responsibility must be taken on the part of the other protagonists accordingly to confront with determination the impending danger. All this results in the core plot of "stardust". Overall, it is preparing audio pleasure to accompany the second mission of Skyclad. Despite everything, the script of stardust but a glaring weakness include: Tempo germinates within the plot only on gene end. Previously, the script keeps long in the work-up of all the events of the first episode, admits the microscopic space his place - too long to talk about a completely successful result. Nevertheless, the delightful expedition members have chosen the right path, which gives hope for many more adventures in the microcosm. Contributes to this, not least the expectant routine cliffhanger, which like the upcoming third episode arouses even in this case.

Speaker:
Impressively, the self-calm and seriousness, which put the speaker in "Stardust" to light. A cool head, the protagonists go over long distances to work. Above all, there are Martin Sabel and Gordon Piedesack that help bring the radio play spirit of research. A strong, the scene poignant function takes next to Martin L. Shepherd as the main protagonist Jay Jublonsky a who repeatedly determined rips the action per se. However one wishes especially with him at one point or another a little more emotion in his voice - especially when he tries to convince a gentleman his female opposite its charm. Deviations from the rational ideal result in "Stardust" only when shrewdness takes the place of rationality and the supernatural overhand wins. Worried Bettina Zech as Dr. Amy Kepler then shows, for example, quickly once their boiled side, although it demonstrates a very quiet, charming facet. In broad roles Robert Missler, Sven May and Julia Casper act. The spokesman Riege's all in a good mood in particular, a little more joyous emotion could the serious mood, however, also like to once loosen slightly.

Music and effects:
Exceptionally and at the highest level remains the presented music and effects in "stardust". The large-scale music give the widths of the microcosm again appealing. Steadily blazes the music in the background. It is extremely present and ready at any moment to the atmospheric impact. For science fiction atmosphere ensure, among other modern beeping of various devices and the tinkling of keyboards. Sudden sounds accompany dramatic scenes particularly well. The acoustic design of pages Gigaphons sets anyway standards in the radio play market and is likely to serve together with the design less of other series such as "Mark Brandis" as some other radio play projects now as a model.

Conclusion:
Technically, the "fractal" -Hörspielserie is still the highest standards. The mitwabernde soundtrack and the appealing effects and speaker services provide an entertaining radio play hour. "Stardust" provides content re classic sci-fi fare, this time with horror accent. Nevertheless, some lengths creep, why compromise can be reported on the part of the script. Nevertheless, this episode fits into the series and image proves that the background story as hergibt some stories for a long series future in the microcosm. Listeners may therefore be interesting to see where the journey of Skyclad will lead! It is about to grow an interesting series future.
