Deaf Crocodile looks for SIGNALS IN THE DUST OF THE STARS (review)

While the West was envisioning dystopian future worlds ruled by technology and alien invaders, the East was envisioning Utopian futures in which the exploration of space was an outgrowth of world peace.  In this East German duo, a space commander mounts a secret rescue mission of a ship lost in an asteroid field under the guise of routine maintenance mission in SIGNALS: A SPACE ADVENTURE.  IN THE DUST OF THE STARS follows a ship responding to an emergency call only to discover that the hospitality of the pleasure-loving inhabitants of the planet Tem might be too good to be true.
