Action and metaphysics – this is going to be a rough mission for Valerian …

The head of Galaxity’s Spatio-Temporal Service has himself joined Valerian and Laureline at Inverloch Castle. There, among various human and alien allies, he explains to them the threat that looms over Earth: all of the recent incidents, all those important people gone mad and threatening to bring about the apocalypse … All of that is due to the malicious influence of the mysterious planet Hypsis. But Hypsis is a world that moves from system to system – it’ll need to be pinpointed first …

‘It’s all completely alien but designed with such tremendous care nothing looks pointless or flimsy. Combined with the rock solid narrative of the script, it creates a book that looks and reads like nothing else and manages to balance satire, physical comedy and action with total ease. An assured entry in a justifiably legendary series’ [TravellingMan]
