Two years have passed since the event of Mermaid Project, and Romane and Brahim have paid the price of their courage and integrity. Ignored, even censored, by their superiors, they’re now reduced to taking lousy private eye jobs to earn a living.
Meanwhile, though, the same cetaceans whose advanced intelligence the UN had refused to believe in are attacking fishing trawlers … with rockets! Before long, the authorities ask our two investigators to take their old jobs back …
I saw the cover and thought I had been sent an old book. I recognised the characters after all then I read. It was Romane and Brahim from The Mermaid Project!
This starts off like a good action movie "What's going on?" "What?!" then the scene shifts to a more sedate location and we catch up with our duo (I still want to Kbow how Romane hides such a big gun under her jacket!!
Now read that story blurb again. Okay, armed cetaceans. How about snow sleds pulled by...hyenas? Giant snow lion? Seriously. I was speeding through this book then going back to look at it all again before...reading. Then I read it in one go without intending to. The "chemistry" between Roxane and Brahim works and straight away I realised that this was going to be one of Cinebook's fun action books of 2022!
Art, colour work, locations and more all fit in together so well. Really, if you missed the previous series DO NOT miss this one and the next cover.....
