Colonel Amos is the head of the FBI's Counterterrorism Division. His current investigation sends him on the trail of an agent of Mossad - Israeli intelligence. The ensuing operation - a joint FBI/CIA effort - will prove to be a difficult one. Not only because of the agent's skill, or because the colonel and his CIA counterpart Giordino don't get along, but also because before coming to the USA, Samuel Amos was a founding member of Mossad...
Alcante began his career in Spirou after winning a script-writing competition organised by the magazine. His first major series was Pandora's Box, translated by Cinebook. Its success drew the attention of his idol, Jean Van Hamme, who asked him to write one of the volumes of the XIII Mystery series, followed by historical series Rani. After an early career drawing political cartoons in newspapers, Francois Boucq got into comics, publishing in magazines Pilote and Fluide Glacial. His talent was recognised at the Angoulme festival, first with a Best Book award then with a Grand Prix. He worked with the greatest names, including Jodorowski with whom he created Bouncer.
