Romane has gone to Brazil, hoping to renew contact with Delphis, her dolphin friend, and find an explanation to the ongoing attacks by sea mammals against human ships and ports. Meanwhile, Brahim and Kruger continue their investigations in Mozambique.
But their enemies, the white supremacists who still run Algapower, and their terrorist allies from the American White Army, know they’re being hunted, and have no intention of being stopped again. A fight for the future of several species begins …
It has not been that long a wait for this one -I reviewed Vol. 1 here:

And they certainly pack a lot in. This is the second and final part of the story and I got very confused when I saw "2" on the cover spine. Was I missing something? I went over everything I remembered and it was all in that first book so they ain't wasting space!
The two main characters I grew to love after their previous series, The Mermaid Project, and I still like the pairing. That is not to say that other characters aren't that good as they are and there are some that would be nice to see in their own story, especially in the mixed up world the series is set in.
The artwork and colouring is as nice as you could want it to be and when art and story click you are in for a treat. Armed cetaceans, perilous plane flight, gun fight in the snow and a herd of elephants trampling their way through the snow. No, this is not set in some European safari park! Its all very odd but enjoyable and worth it to get to the last panel. Far more enjoyable than trying to type a review of a rapidly dying PC!
The Mermaid Project and Mutations are both series I would recommend and if you like thriller style sci fi (yes, I wrote "sci fi" again) action then this is where to spend your money!
