Re: Perry Rhodan?
Yes I remember the PR series. The paperback books started out at 50 cents each. Still it was a lot for a young kid in the 70's. I would vist the bookstore and bring back 2 or three new one each visit. I recall coming home once and sitting down on the couch and not looking up till I had read the whole book.
There are LOTS of ships described from small one man scouts to planet size super dreadnoughts. Lots of various beams and missiles too.
I remember massive battles with 1000's of ships on each side.
The story line went from book to book with each one ending in a cliff hanger.
I may even still have some of the books in an old bookcase.

Re: Perry Rhodan?
Brings back fond memories ... Perry Rhodan & the E.E. "Doc" Smith series! 
I need to break out my Lensman copies and read them again.  |

Ditto on that, both on not hearing about Perry Rhodan and also being another train nut. And here I thought Dr. Who took the title as longest running sci-fi series. someone mentioned a movie, but I was wandering if there were any episodes on DVD, with both German and English Languages. I took 2 years of high school German, but that was over 20 years ago, so I would prefer to have the English Version. |

Re: Perry Rhodan?
Hey Perry Rhodan. I did not know that it is still published in the States too. The most young men in Germany/Austria are reading these tiny little booklets. I am grown up with it and today I am reading one or another of stories from time to time.
Its the most read pulp SF series in the world (I think they claim it is translated in 20 Languages or so)
I think some of the Perry Rhodan setting is very good suited to SEIV. But that I guess that the Terran empire comprises several galaxies (at least in No 2000) Difficult to simulate this in SEIV.

Re: Perry Rhodan?
I have over 200+ Rhodan books, but havne't seen any new printed ones in years around here, I didn't know the series was still going on... have to ck around and see if I can find some.. lst have to ck the Last book number I had.... Started buying them back in the 60's.
The Lensmans Series, excellent series, I have the whole series, Re-read them every so often, Recommended reading for any Sci-Fi enthusiasts
