Synopsis

From The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen and continuing in the thrilling tradition of Heart of Ice, Alan Moore and Kevin O'Neill rampage through twentieth-century culture in a blazing new adventure. It's now 1941, and with her daughter strategically married into the family of aerial warlord Jean Robur, Janni's raiders have only limited contact with the military might of the clownish German-Tomanian dictator Adenoid Hynkel. But when the pirate queen learns that her loved ones are held hostage in the nightmarish Berlin, she has no choice save to intervene directly, travelling with her ageing lover Broad Arrow Jack into the belly of the beastly metropolis. Within that alienated city await monsters, criminals and legends, including the remaining vestiges of Germany's notorious 'Twilight Heroes', a dark Teutonic counterpart to Mina Murray's League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. And waiting at the far end of this gauntlet of alarming adversaries there is something much, much worse

A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

'This is some of the smoothest, most seamless storytelling I've seen from Moore, and I'm convinced that a large part of that stems from his confidence in O'Neill to bear as much of the storytelling weight with his art as the writer does with his text.' --Bleeding Cool

'The plotting of this romp is fairly straightforward, but the real pleasure lies in the bewildering array of intertextual references and smartly satirical use of literary figures, famous and obscure. Where Moore and O'Neill go from here is anybody's guess, but they've got the whole of literary creation, past and present, to plunder. Long may their reign of terror continue.' --The List

'A damn fine read, a delight of weird alt-fiction, with two veteran creators proving that they're on fine, fine form, and O'Neill in particular doing some of the best work of his career.' - --Forbidden Planet
