Star Maidens

Medusa, torn from orbit around Proxima Centauri by a comet, was sent careering through space. Ages later, with Medusa now in orbit between Uranus and Neptune, Adam and Shem escape the autocratic all-female Medusan society and head to Earth.

Surviving the crash, Adam and Shem steal a police car and go on the run. Supreme Councillors Octavia — head of security — and Fulvia — Adam's mistress — follow them to Earth to retrieve them. Many misunderstandings with the humans ensue.

Adam and Shem shut themselves inside an ancient defensive manor and take the curator hostage. Octavia activates the nightmare cannon, bringing their fears to life to drive them into the open, where they are taken into custody by the police.

The proton storm forces the Nemesis to return to Medusa, with Liz and Rudi held hostage aboard. Fulvia tries to return to earth to find Adam, but the storm throws the ship off course. Will Adam help?

While Shem repairs her ship, Fulvia allows herself to be used as a test subject for a human thought-transference machine similar to the ones on Medusa — but not similar enough, as it causes pain and distress. Who will save her?

Earth hostage Dr Rudi Schmidt is forced to perform menial work, on the surface and in the city, but rebels—and other Medusan men join him. He's caught and handed over to Liz to supervise.
