Description

A renowned physicist and the head of MI5 battle threats to the Empire and solve extraordinary mysteries across the globe. The third volume of a long-awaited Complete Collection that will include a wealth of extra material with each one! The two stories contained in this third volume are firmly within the realm of science-fiction. And yet, "Atlantis Mystery", with its prehistoric monsters, futuristic machines and subterranean lost civilizations, stands in stark contrast with "S.O.S. Meteors", the action of which takes place entirely within Paris and the surrounding countryside. A falsely mundane environment that demonstrates Jacobs's ability to summon adventure anywhere! The 32 pages of extra material highlight, among other things, the author's creative process and sources of inspirations.

Description

The fourth volume of a long-awaited Complete Collection that will include a wealth of extra material with each one! With "The Time Trap", first of the two titles in this fourth volume, Jacobs tackles a quintessential science-fiction trope: time travel. Dinosaurs, medieval knights and an apocalyptic future make it a fabulous adventure, and who cares if, for the first time, Olrik isn't there? "The Affair of the Necklace", on the other hand, is a pure crime story done in ultrarealistic overtones that set it somewhat apart from the rest of the series. Finally, the extra material will shine a light on the dangers of censorship at the time - from which even Jacobs wasn't safe.
