Namibia, 1949. Three years after the Nuremberg trials, a white man is photographed in the middle of a corn field: it’s Reichsmarschall Hermann Göring, who’s supposed to have committed suicide in his cell. Worried about the geopolitical implications of the discovery, MI5 sends Kathy Austin to Namibia. There, along with her new partner – a grumpy, misogynistic, racist old war horse, Kathy begins an investigation where the threat of Nazi resurgence soon makes way before more frightening – and unexplainable – phenomena.

First thing I noticed is that Leo is not doing all the art.  Bertrand Marchal joins the team with this series and don't get me wrong: nothing bad about the art but you see Leo and suddenly -change!

This actually reminded me very much of an X-Files style story -a cross between a spy thriller and sci fi. Be interesting to see how this series turns out.
