"Demon Star"
*Approaching the binary star Algol, Alpha is attacked by alien craft which then abduct Helena and several other Alphans. Koenig is warned that because of the hostages, they cannot destroy the alien ships which have now tested their defences and will return to destroy them in time. An enraged Koenig leads a combined fleet af Eagles and Hawks to bring back the prisoners from the Earth-like planet it originated from but are instead welcomed by the inhabitants.

There is no trace of any weapons, hostile ships or troops. All seems well but Koenig cannot shake the feeling that for all the genuine openness, there is something wrong and, in an ancient deserted temple, he and Helena discover the secret of the inhabitants of the planet Janid...
