March: Eolomea (Herrmann Zschoche, 1972)

Eight space cargo-ships disappear without a trace within three days and there is suddenly no contact with the orbiting space station, Margot. The space council orders a total flight stop. But one space ship secretly takes off to go to the space station. The scientist in charge, Maria Scholl, sees no other solution than to order a total flight stop to this mysterious sector of space. Her colleague, Prof. Tal, is acting suspiciously, as he knows things before the information is even released. A forbidden look into his personal file brings to light that Tal was once part of the Eolomea project – a project that never received approval.
