Unfortunately, the road forward leads into the heart of the rainforest and the territory of extremely hostile natives. Continuing will be difficult and dangerous, especially as she appears to be followed by a number of people including two suspicious Germans ? and the Brazilian Navy!

(W) Rodolphe, LEO (A) Bertrand Marchal Two separate expeditions into the heart of the Amazon rainforest have trespassed upon Yanomami territory.

(W) Yann (A/CA) Alain Henriet In the last days of World War Two, Nazi Germany is collapsing, and the noose is tightening around F?rtenstein Castle, rear base of the Amerika Bomber project. Even as the last SS special forces set up the guidance elements for the intercontinental bomber, more and more ground and bases are yielded to the advancing Soviet forces. Anna, once a fanatical admirer of the F?hrer, is increasingly forced to face the terrible brutality of the regime she's defending. Meanwhile, Werner makes contact with a resistance cell.

(W) Yann (A/CA) Alain Henriet Final volume of a great epic about war and friendship. Everything is in place. The radio guidance relays are active, the Silbervogel, the intercontinental bomber, is operational, and Anna is ready to fly it to America-a suicide mission. As for Werner, he seems incapable of fulfilling his mission and killing the beautiful test pilot, in whom he still sees his childhood friend.

(W) Rodolphe (A) Chris Wraight The peace of Mordwick, a small coastal village, is shattered by the news that mysterious individuals have come ashore to dig up the recently departed. They looked like pirates, and rumours swell that the infamous captain Black Mary, a legendary, freedom-loving marauder desperately wanted by the Royal Navy, is involved. Could she be the cause of a wave of spectral apparitions sweeping through the kingdom-including that of the ghost of the recently departed king himself?

(W) Rodolphe (A) Chris Wraight Rescued at sea by Black Mary, Lord James, the libertine aristocrat who longed for adventure, is utterly enthralled by the fierce pirate captain-enough so that when she boards a royal warship, he chooses to fight at her side. With her ship badly damaged, though, Mary must return to her hidden base, an island not on any map. For good reason: the inhabitants of the island are ? the men and women who died at sea, and remain there until it is time to move on to the afterlife?

(W) Frederic Zumbiehl (A) Gil Formosa Buck and his friends are sent to Edwards Air Force Base on a new top-secret assignment. Their joy at being test pilots again is short-lived: they are in fact to test and train an artificial intelligence program that could very well one day replace them in the cockpit of a fighter jet. As if that wasn't enough, the project is plagued by a string of incidents, to the point that Buck begins to-rightly-suspect outside interference!

(W) Frederic Zumbiehl (A) Gil Formosa Project Skyborg, the Air Force's prototype AI pilot, has turned into a complete disaster. While the system works, it has unfortunately been hijacked by agents of the Circle, a shadowy criminal organisation whose nefarious plans Buck has already thwarted several times. The terrorists are now in possession of an AI-controlled F-16 with which they intend to strike an important target and start a deadly war.
