1848. In Ottoman-occupied Montenegro, young doctor Vanko Winczlav is
one of the leaders of a popular uprising. Betrayed, wanted by the
authorities, he flees the Balkans for the United States in the
company of a Bulgarian refugee, Veska, whom he marries to allow her
to enter New York legally. So begins the history of a family closely
entwined with that of a still new country going through many
transformations.
Depuis dix ans qu’il y a élu domicile, les États-Unis n’ont pas été à la hauteur des attentes de Zaroff. Quelques criminels, des vagabonds… menu gibier, bien indigne du plus grand chasseur du monde. Mais l’oncle Sam lui offre un nouveau terrain de chasse : sa Russie natale, envahie par les nazis. Zaroff devra y retrouver une physicienne perdue au beau milieu de ces prédateurs du IIIe Reich, dont la sauvagerie n’a d’égale que la sienne. Car plus le jeu est dangereux, plus Zaroff le devient…
After three years of study and training, Marie is now officially a
member of the UN Special Forces. But she's barely had time to
celebrate her graduation when an extraordinary event forces her to
leave for her first mission: an alien ship of unknown origin has just
arrived in orbit of Earth. As no contact can be established with its
crew, Marie and her team are sent to board the vessel and investigate
...
Profitant de l’absence de son mari et épaulée par le colonel Alfred van der Smissen, dont le charme ne la laisse pas insensible, Charlotte de Belgique a pris les rênes de l’empire mexicain. Malheureusement pour elle, au retour de Maximilien, les choses se gâtent. Les révoltes prennent de l’ampleur et pire encore, l’armée française se prépare à quitter le Mexique. Par ailleurs, Maximilien cherche par tous les moyens à concevoir un héritier à la couronne. Refusant de partager sa couche avec lui, le sachant atteint de syphilis, Charlotte doit se résoudre à avoir recours à l’adoption. À moins qu’elle ne finisse par succomber à l’appel de la chair avec le ténébreux van der Smissen…
A first attempt to enter the world-ship and make contact with the
Humans inside has failed after the exploration team was contaminated
with deadly nanorobots. Only Marie, with her Mantris-improved body,
was able to fight them off, and so she and Kim, who is also immune,
make the decision to give it another try ... before the authorities of
Earth destroy the massive vessel, the robotic menace within ... and its
mysterious Human passengers.
5 jaar na het album " De Moordenaar van Lucky Luke " neemt Matthieu
Bonhomme opnieuw de draad op met een nieuw album van Lucky Luke.
Gezocht door een bende misdadigers, beschuldigd van moord en
vergezeld van drie schoonheden... Benieuwd hoe onze cowboy uit deze "
penibele " situatie zal weten te ontkomen?
SPADS: Special Assault & Destroying Sections. XIII, zoals de man zonder geheugen genoemd wordt, wordt door generaal Carrington in een trainingskamp in Centraal-Amerika geplaatst omdat hij nog gezocht wordt in de USA voor zijn ontsnapping. Maar hij ontdekt ook dingen over zijn verleden.
Now rid of Prince John's henchman, William, Marian and their friends
are finally free to relax a little. Their respite is short, however.
A judge known for his integrity and doggedness has been dispatched to
Nottingham by the regent to investigate the recent trouble, and from
the town's very bowels, drawn by the rumours about the theft of the
royal treasure, another gang of brigands emerges, their hearts and
intentions far less pure than those of the `Merry Men' allied with
the Hood ...
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.
Bad luck, shoddy equipment and hostile fauna have stranded Kim and her companions thousands of miles from the Antares expedition's base camp. Abandoned to their fate by the fanatical leaders who cannot abide Kim's independent streak, wracked by internal dissent, the little group must make its way back through an unknown, terrifying land a long journey that will raise many questions and cost many lives.
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...
The Antares mission is underway. Kim, her daughter and her companions are on board the interstellar ship that carries the would-be colonists. Conditions are far from ideal, though. The fanaticism and bigotry of a large number of the passengers, all members of the project leader's sect, are putting everyone on edge. As well, there are rumours of substandard equipment for the expedition. By the time they reach Antares, Kim and her friends are already disillusioned... and the worst is yet to come.
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...
The long journey of the Neptune is well underway. Lady Vivian is
counting on her associate Long John Silver to take control of the
expedition. But Silver doesn't have enough men to take over the ship,
and Captain Hastings doesn't trust him. In the close quarters of a
tall ship, tensions rise; betrayal looms... Blood will be spilled
before the vessel reaches the Amazon, and a single act of routine
brutality will throw the Neptune into a maelstrom of death.
