Point Central is a multicultural space station that serves
as a sort of United Nations to the galaxy. Tasked with protecting the new
ambassador from Earth, Valerian is kidnapped alongside his charge in a
lightning commando attack. It’s up to Laureline to do all the heavy lifting and
slog through the seedy bowels of the station as she tries to locate and rescue
them—and figure out who kidnapped them and why.
The mystery and intrigue continue as does the lovely art and
the vibrant colours used to tone certain pages/panels –it is almost psychedelic
at times! The 6th (!)
Valerian & Laureline book to be published in the English language and I’m
sure this series is going to win many more fans because of that!
And I love that cover!!
At my age touches of class tend to please me a lot!
