Dear Reader,

Ghosts
from the past are the flavour of this month. For Blake and Mortimer, it
seems to be almost literally – a mysterious, shadowy figure is prowling
the halls of the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, and its actions seem to be
linked to Captain Blake’s youth…
In Barracuda,
it’s an old enemy of Mr Flynn’s who shows up at Puerto Blanco with
murder in his heart. The delicate balance of power on the island is
going to be disrupted, with serious consequences for Emilio, Maria and
Raffy…
For
Largo, it’s a case of the sins of the father, as a member of the W
Group’s old guard is murdered before his very eyes, prompting an
investigation that will lead to Switzerland and the Black Sea.
Finally,
time-travelling agent Valerian hops from one period of history to
another, doing what action heroes do and… well, dying a lot, too. A good
thing Laureline is there to back him up…
March with Cinebook – the ghosts of readings past!

succession of re-enacted pieces of human history… Read more

an old friend… Read more

Three
years have passed in Puerto Blanco, and there has been no news of the
Barracuda. Emilio, still passing himself off as a woman, has been
learning the art of fencing from Mr Flynn. Maria, now married to the
slave merchant Ferrango, makes her husband’s existence a living hell. As
for Raffy, being left behind by his pirate father has hit him hard… Read more

Fresh
from his old pilot Freddy’s wedding, Largo is back in New York for more
celebrating – the departure of one of his employees. But during the
party, a Turkish national permanently retires Sir Basil with a couple of
bullets. Shortly thereafter, the shooter himself is killed by a sniper
before he’s had a chance to say a word… Read more
