Mark and Kim are sent to Betelgeuse to look for survivors of the spacecraft crash that killed 3000 people seven years earlier. They find some survivors, among them Tazio Menegaz and Colonel Logan, who tell them the colonisers had been divided over whether the indigenous Lums are as intelligent as humans. If they are, humans would be forced to abandon their colonising enterprise according to UN law. Kim decides to investigate for herself.
Leo has illustrated an album about the life of Gandhi, published by Editions Centurion, and collaborated with scriptwriter Rodolphe on the Trent series published by Dargaud in France. He launched Aldebaran, which he writes and draws, in 1993.
