Description

In the near future, Earth is falling to a catastrophic alien invasion: giant beetle-like creatures emerge without warning from spatio-temporal rifts, wipe out resistant in a certain zone, then seal it behind a completely impenetrable barrier. Entire sections of the planet have already been lost forever. With conventional weaponry powerless, the USA authorize a program that will turn five teenagers into pure geniuses. Will the test subjects find a defense, though ... or will they become out of control themselves

Author Bio

Clarke - a pseudonym for Frdric Seron, nephew to Pierre Seron, creator of Les Petits Hommes - is an extremely prolific author. When he's not creating animations for Spirou Magazine, he illustrates, and sometimes writes, numerous series in various styles, though he does have a preference for dark humor. The best known of those is the one he created with old friend and partner in crime Franois Gilson: Melusine, published by Cinebook.
