Valerian - The Complete Collection - Volume 5

Fifth volume of the collection, and it’s almost a new series that begins,
without ever losing any of what makes its strength or its charm. In this
volume of the Collection you will find books 13 to 15, and our heroes’ life
has been irretrievably changed with the disappearance of future Earth and
Galaxity. Lacking work, they become freelance spies in the 80s in On the
Frontiers. Lacking money, they’re reluctant arms dealers in The Living
Weapons. Lacking options, they turn investigators slash bait on corrupt
Rubanis in The Circles of Power. The apparent descent into hell of the two
former agents is the chance for the authors to study the ambiguities of our
world, either directly or through the lens of alien civilisations; along with
the ambiguity – pragmatism versus heroism – of the titular character, saved
from a fall from grace by his ever irreproachable partner.
