Résumé
1958. Krachtige elektrische verschijnselen van onbekende herkomst verwoesten verschillende paviljoenen van de Expo. Een terroristische derdewereldbeweging (geleid door een geheimzinnige Indische keizer die na meer dan 2000 jaar uit de dood is opgestaan) heeft de Expo als toneel gekozen voor haar eerste ontwrichtende acties. Prof. Philip Mortimer heeft de leiding van het Britse paviljoen, dat in contact staat met de Britse basis op Antarctica, het 6de continent. Dat contact wordt echter door terroristen in een naburige basis, Gondwana, gebruikt voor een nieuw, vernietigend wapen. En de keizer, dat is Açoka, die Mortimer er ooit van beschuldigde de moordenaar te zijn van zijn dochter...

André Juillard developed a passion for comic books as a child, when he'd devour the weekly "Tintin" magazine. Without even realizing it, he became a specialist in the "ligne claire" style through his reading of Hergé, Jacobs, and Bob De Moor at the height of their talent. When he graduated from high school, he began to study the decorative arts in Paris, and soon met Martin Veyron and Jean-Claude Denis. Educated amateurs were, at the time, the great hope of the comics scene, and Juillard soon began to make an impact. In 1982 he paired with Patrick Cothias for "Sept Vies de l'Épervier," an instant classic. Juillard created a whole new movement of historical graphics novels comic books, and in 1995 his achievements were recognized when his "Cahier Bleu" won him the prize for best album at the Angouleme Comics Festival. And the year after, he received the festival's Grand Prix. Then in 2000 he reached another milestone, when he was asked to take the artistic reins of "Blake & Mortimer," alongside scriptwriter Yves Sente. In 2003 and 2004 the pair followed with two more volumes, and they have continued their collaboration in the years since, including the 2016 "The Testament of William S." (Cinebook in English). Aside from his contribution to the "Blake & Mortimer" series, he's also worked with numerous well-known writers such as Pierre Christin on "Léna" (Dargaud/Europe Comics), and Yann on the historical war dramas "Mezek" (Le Lombard/Europe Comics) and "Double 7" (Dargaud/Europe Comics).
