Under the Spell of Magic (STAR-DUST 8)

Two hundred and fifty years from today, the solar system and humanity are an integral part of a union consisting of five planetary systems. Saturn's moon Japetus and the station MAITRI were destroyed in the attack of a non-human race about 120 years ago. Since the disappearance of Sigurd, the TRISHARANA along with the Xxiin settlement has hidden under a camouflage field. Mankind has never heard of them, although Venus has been subjected to terraforming with the help of alien technology and over ten million people and members of the four Union peoples now live there. Mysterious occurrences are shaking the native civilization. It seems that sorcerous powers and magic are at play. Several assassinations attempt on Sigurd, which he survives only because of his special abilities, convince him that he must join forces with the new MBF organization to solve the riddles. His top priority, however, is to find the organic ship PAURUSHEYA, which also mysteriously disappeared 250 years ago.
