A very murky case for two down-on-their-luck agents ...

Broke, without a job, their ship almost a scrap heap, Valerian and Laureline are stuck on Rubanis, unable to pay for repairs. So when a trio of old acquaintances introduces them to the head of the local police, who is looking for independent agents for a risky - but well-paid - mission, they accept readily enough. But Rubanis is the most corrupt planet in the entire galaxy. How are they to find out who really holds the reins of power there?

'A perfect piece, a sci-fi epic with a heart and soul, a masterpiece.' - Richard Bruton [Forbidden Planet International Blog]

Key Points:

• A series emblematic of French science fiction
• A strong influence on science-fiction films - among others, The Fifth Element and Star Wars
• Now a major motion picture in its own right directed by Luc Besson
• An imaginative and colourful series, with lovable and complex characters - Valerian, an action anti-hero, and Laureline, an early incarnation of the strong, take-charge female.
