The continuing adventures of our Aldebaran heroes

A first attempt to enter the world-ship and make contact with the Humans inside has failed after the exploration team was contaminated with deadly nanorobots. Only Marie, with her Mantris-improved body, was able to fight them off, and so she and Kim, who is also immune, make the decision to give it another try … before the authorities of Earth destroy the massive vessel, the robotic menace within … and its mysterious Human passengers.

The far off worlds stories were great and Leo's creative imagination brought us some interesting landscapes and incredible alien creatures. But I am glad that this is the end of the cycle for the series and what an end.

Mystery, betrayal, action in space and "elsewhere" and Leo lives up to my expectations and the story is excellent as is the art with absolutely superb colouring by Florence Spiteri (and Leo). It really makes me wish I had the time to take all the series from the shelf and re-read them but I haven't so I'll stick with the excitement I got at first read.

If you are a sci fi fan then you ought to find this exactly what you have been missing!
