Long before the world of the Ganymeans blew apart millennia ago, the strange race of giants had already vanished. All that remained of them was a wrecked ship abandoned on a frozen moon of Jupiter.

In einer felsigen Höhle auf dem Mond wird eine Leiche in einem roten Raumanzug entdeckt. Niemand weiß, wer der Mann ist. Niemand weiß, woher er kam.

Er wurde also zu einer Zeit geboren, als es weder die Raumfahrt noch größere menschliche Aktivitäten auf der Erde gab.
