Only a consequence, a lot of excitement and action - "flying blind to the serpent" is a truly superb space adventure. Held Brandis launches a rescue mission at his old comrades Grischa Romen find. This is considered lost, his ship was destroyed by pirates. Since Brandis refused a command in the last episode and thereby rescued civilians he now is without post since he escaped his demotion only by termination. Together with his faithful Pablo Torrente he smuggles himself on a train (see again fantastic cover) and to move from there to a spaceport. Then it goes with false identities in quick succession, at once both are kidnapped in a freighter by pirates and escape the execution initially only with tricks. You are in the hand of the mighty pirate Ahmed Khan, which also carries a secret with him. The situation comes to a head and you fight with others against these icy criminals. So exciting and full of action, it was far from being at the very "realistic" and genuine sci-fi radio drama series "Mark Brandis" showing how it might be times on Earth. "Star Trek II" Fans will surely only smile when a villain here is similar to the role in the movie. But that is merely incidental. Toll, the dialogues and the cohesion of the protagonists. Along with great effects and 1-A speakers gives that as always great episode that I am one of the best in the series.
