There is no such thing as FTL.  However, there is a means of translating
yourself from one sets of universe coordinates to another set of
universe coordinates instantaneously.

 If you move from A to B in less time than light takes to travel
that distance, it's FTL.  Doesn't matter _how_.
 Also, I think around the _Perry Rhodan_ volumes you've last reviewed,
people are starting to feel that the jump drives are inconvenient
and that the Druuf drives are superior.  Now, what has happened
every single time before when the Terrans ran into an opponent with
superior technology?  Enjoy #100.

I read #100 about 50 years ago.  I cannot remember a word of it.  But, I own a copy and will be reading it in the next year or three.  I am reading #73 right now.
Wait, are you talking about #100 of the Ackerman Perry Rhodans (which is the German Perry Rhodan #108 ?
