Authorised Happiness - Volume 1
When the notion of welfare state gets out of control, where will bureaucratic absurdity stop in its quest for universal happiness? This series of vignettes depicts slices of life from different people – different destinies that will all come together for the terrible conclusion.
Western
Wyoming, 1868. Ambrosius Van Deer has come to Fort Laramie to meet Jess Chisum, a young man who claims he's found Van Deer's nephew Eddie. 10 years before, Edwyn Van Deer disappeared after his family was killed in a Lakota raid. Proof of his identity: a silver watch with a portrait of his parents. But fate has other plans than a happy family reunion - and the events of that day will set in motion a tragedy 15 years in the making.
Twenty Years Later
Twenty years have passed since the survivors of the Corsair crash emerged from the jungle. But suddenly they begin dropping like flies. Rafalowski, the cowardly pianist, vanishes. Miss Taylor, the nanny, drowns. Draillac, who was 12 at the time of the accident, is kidnapped and believed dead... His abductors are actually members of an intelligence service and staged his death ... to save his life – someone is trying to eliminate all the survivors...
Thirteen to One
XIII survived the trip back to his childhood home. The Mongoose has finally been caught and is in a high-security jail. But there is still one piece of the puzzle missing and when President Sheridan asks him to discover who the number I is, the man now known as Jason McLane doesn't hesistate for long. His best chance: finding Kim Rowland wherever she may be hiding. But the Mongoose has powerful allies and won't stay locked up forever.
The Day of the Black Sun
A man washes ashore near an old couple's house, barely alive. When he comes to, he has forgotten everything, including his name. The only clues to his identity: a key sewn into his clothes, a bullet wound to the head - and the number XIII tattooed on his shoulder. A meagre start to reconstruct one's self. Before XIII even begins to investigate, though, his past catches up with him, and it is anything but ordinary. The trail is thin and the body count high, but XIII needs to know. Even if, as the outlines of a massive conspiracy start to appear, some of the truths uncovered seem unpleasant.
For Maria
Jason McLane is on holiday with Jones, staying with some friends in Central America, when a peculiar priest offers him startling news: he may very well be a married man! And because nothing is ever simple in XIII's life, his apparent wife is none other than the leader of the democratic guerrillas in neighbouring Costa Verde, Maria De Los Santos - currently awaiting execution in a maximum security fortress. Time for the amnesiac to put his skills to good use again - for Maria.
20 Seconds
The 16th adventure of the reluctant tycoon! Largo Winch is a rare breed of man: a multi-billionaire who distrusts money. Being rich does have advantages, but it also brings headaches, troubles, conspiracies, murder attempts and other despicable behaviour in competitors and underlings. Largo has to stay on top of it all...
Takeover Bid
A secret war for power takes place behind the scenes in big financial groups. A would-be buyer offers to acquire all shares of a rival in order to control it. The W group is attacked by FENICO, a business conglomerate. As if this were not enough, the US Internal Revenue Service also takes on Largo Winch. Will he lose his entire fortune?
Wayne Shelton - The Mission
Meet Wayne Shelton, the man you call when you want the impossible done. When a high-ranking official of a small nation in the Caucasus is killed in a car accident, the plans of a massive multinational corporation are derailed by one man: the unfortunate French trucker who caused the accident. Pressure from the unions in France and the military in Khalakjistan prevents a quick diplomatic solution. So, to secure its own interests, the corporation calls upon the one man who can break the trucker out of prison and disarm the confrontation: Wayne Shelton.
Where the Indian Walks
"A seriously wounded man is rescued by an elderly couple in a New England fishing village. He recovers his strength but has lost all memory of his past. His search for clues to his identity triggers attempts on his life, kidnapping, and a pile of money. The only thing that's certain is that he's a paramilitary pro who can stay one step ahead of his pursuers. . . Who is this man known only by the code tattooed on his neck: XIII? A secret service agent? A spy? A mercenary? No one knows for sure. Did he assassinate the president or was he framed for The Day of the Black Sun?"--V. 1 cover.
