Because you started this kind of thread there too :P

Ah yes, that's what it was, sorry. It's been a rather hectic and long day :)

I use Chrome and it auto-translates the text in the GOG forums without me needing to enter everything manually into Google Translate :)

series idea

The idea of ​​a science fiction series with fixed heroes had Walter Ernsting and K. H. Scheer in autumn 1960. This, they claimed the then chief editor of the publishing house Moewig Kurt Bernhardt. This commissioned Walter Ernsting first with the non-binding search for suitable writers for a weekly series. While Klaus Mahn and Winfried Scholz were found as potential authors, Freder van Holk could not be integrated into the team, as he called for an action inside the earth, analogous to its Sun-Koh Heftroman series.

After another conversation with Kurt Bernhardt Ernsting and Scheer went in Irschenberg in Ernstings house cloistered and developed in three days of work, the main characters and the rough action with synopses of the first ten novels. Then they received the order, alternating every two novels of the series to write - Band 1 to 4. On 26 March 1961, the first novel was completed and handed over to the publisher. (PR 300) After some time, said Kurt Bernhardt that Perry Rhodan booklet series will start. The covers, which were very important in order to arouse interest in the series, were created by the best graphic designers in the field of science fiction - Johnny Bruck.

Many concepts of the early volumes were inspired by the Sun-Koh Heftroman series and the CUA Series. Among other gets humanity jump start the conquest of space even with Sun Koh. Also find three young engineers in the Andes the wreck of an alien spaceship spherical derived from Mars, whose pilots have now degenerated as the Arkonide. Moreover, the series subtitles parallels on: Perry Rhodan - The heir of the universe, Sun Koh - The legacy of Atlantis

Which is why I read the translation and then deduce what words go where :) The only trouble I have is with tenses as machine translated text tends to have trouble with those, depending on the language.

And don't even get me started on trying to translate a language that has gendered (masculine, feminine, sometimes neuter) words into English, a language without gendered words...
