Meanwhile, in Washington, investigations continue, and a series of clues emerge, pointing towards people XIII thought his allies. Can he trust Colonel Amos, General Carrington or. Lieutenant Jones?
Captured and imprisoned in the Roca Negra fortress, XIII is being tortured by the sinister Colonel Peralta. But, for all his pain and suffering, he's also in the same building as Maria, the woman who may be his wife. And they have plenty of dedicated, resourceful friends outside... as well as at least one traitor. Still unsure of his past, Jason McLane will have no choice but to become the man known as «El Cascador» to clean up Costa Verde once and for all.
Twenty years after the events of Treasure Island, Lady Vivian Hastings knocks on Dr Livesey's door. Her hated husband has sent word from the Amazon: He has found the fabled city of Guiana-Capac, and his brother is to sell the entire domain to pay for an expedition, dispossessing Vivian in the process. So the lady has come to seek the one man who can help her: Long John Silver.
Humanity migrates to a new planet, the secrets of which Kim Keller will have to unravel.
After the failure of the Betelgeuse colonisation mission, Kim is back on Earth, where she is an increasingly popular figure. Meanwhile, advance scouts on planet Antares have witnessed some distressingly strange events. Worried about the future of this new mission, the sponsors of the Antares project call upon Kim to accompany the first colonists, offering legal amnesty for Alexa and Mark in exchange. It's the beginning of a new adventure for the young woman and her friends.
Le Neptune s'est lancé dans son long voyage. Lady Vivian compte sur son associé Long John Silver pour prendre le contrôle de l'expédition. Mais Silver n'a pas assez d'hommes pour s'emparer du navire, et le Capitaine Hastings se méfie de lui. Dans le monde étriqué d'un navire en pleine mer, les tensions montent ; les trahisons menacent. La mort frappera avant l'arrivée en Amazonie, et c'est un acte de barbarie quotidienne qui plongera le Neptune dans un tourbillon de violence.
As the main body of the Antares expedition faces a catastrophic situation and seems doomed to failure, Kim's little group is still trying to establish contact with whoever kidnapped her daughter Lynn. But the fanatic Jedediah is still there, causing dissension and creating obstacles. Only Kim's strength of character, her determination to find her daughter, and her special bond with the alien Sven - Lynn's father - can still save them all...
Kim's group, still stranded halfway across Antares, must get back to the base camp through a journey filled with deadly encounters. Meanwhile, at the base camp, a trip to the neighbouring planet-source of the strange ray that vaporised Kim's daughter-is being organised. The prospect of meeting an intelligent species, though, drives the religious fanatics in charge to clamp down on any person or activity deemed rebellious. As if a hostile world isn't enough, the colonists have brought their own worst enemy with them...
Kim's mission to the other Antares planet - the one from which came the mysterious beam that took her daughter - is underway, and the young woman desperately wants to believe she will find her missing child. One amongst her team has no shortage of faith, though: the insufferable Jedediah Thornton is convinced they are going to meet an advanced alien civilisation. And he will stop at nothing to ensure humanity's representative is a man of proper morals...

With the help of his brother and his cousin, he decides to steal from the rich and redistribute the loot to the poor. But soon, the trio is spreading terror wherrever they go. Will Lucky Luke be able to rid the town of these desperados?
Quatrième volume de l'intégrale Valerian. Au programme : le meilleur de la série, avec le retour sur la Terre et des bouleversements dans la vie des personnages.
Ce volume de l'intégrale contient les tomes 9 à 12 - deux diptyques essentiels qui représentent un tournant de l'histoire de nos agents, et qui sont considérés par la plupart des critiques et lecteurs comme le zénith de la série. Caractérisées par le retour sur la Terre du XXe siècle, ces deux histoires sont empreintes d'une mélancolie et d'une poésie formidables, et forcent Valerian, l'homme d'action, à faire face à ses limites. Et alors que le vrai 1986 rattrapait celui, apocalyptique, du premier album, Pierre Christin dénouait le paradoxe temporel en virtuose, faisant table rase du status quo et envoyant ses héros dans une toute nouvelle direction. Avec encore une fois une introduction du récemment disparu Stan Barets.
L'ultime volume de cette magnifique intégrale, qui inclut les trois derniers albums de la saga principale, pour conclure en beauté le cycle des aventures de Valerian et Laureline et retrouver la Terre disparue.
Mézières et Christin ont fait quelque chose que pratiquement personne n'avait fait avant eux : après 43 ans aux manettes, ils mettent eux-mêmes, et de façon absolue, un point final au cycle des aventures de leurs héros. Les trois titres de ce volume (At the Edge of the Great Void, The Order of the Stoneset The Time Opener) bouclent la boucle et définissent la fin de l'histoire. Pas de larmes, cela dit ; comme l'expliquent les suppléments, la nature même de leur univers - voyages temporels et paradoxes à gogo - laisse la voie libre à quelques possibilités ultérieures : recueils de flash-backs, one-shots par d'autres créateurs, et adaptations sur d'autres supports comme ... le cinéma !

Following the Kuala Lumpur incidents, which almost prevented the Human-Sandjarr reconciliation ceremony from being held, the situation on Earth is increasingly tense. The mood has turned ugly, resulting in attacks against aliens and assassinations of isolationist personalities. Meanwhile, the circles of Confederate powers are afire with political manoeuvring, and Mezoke is on trial for high treason, a convenient scapegoat. But when the judges request that Caleb be brought out of his regenerative coma to testify, the Sandjarr agent's loyalty is put to the test...

He is squarely on the side of the law and dedicates his life to seeing that justice is done. He travels around delivering it wherever he goes, accompanied by his faithful companion, Jolly Jumper.
The unexplained deaths in the mangrove have not deterred authorities: The ceremonies will go on as planned in Kuala Lumpur, despite Mezoke's resistance and growing disagreement with Caleb. But the official optimism is soon dampened by news of further destruction, closer to the city. And when Nina and Angus return with the identity of the killer, an old enemy of the Confederation, the agents will be forced to act in desperation-and, maybe, to pay the ultimate price.
Après avoir fui la Confédération, Caleb et Mezoke ont trouvé refuge auprès d'autres exilés, désabusés par la corruption et la violence du gouvernement galactique. Caleb se remet doucement des blessures subies lors de sa dernière mission, tout comme le fait de son coté Angus le vaisseau vivant.
