Buck Danny – L’intégrale – Tome 5

Fighting rages in Rumble Town, as its leaders turn on their own people. Seth and his wizard friends unite to combat the Inquisition, but they soon have to face a new enemy as well: the Nemesis tamer Hameline. As she releases her fury and the chaos mounts, the town’s inhabitants prepare for the worst. Seth and his companions will have to separate friend from foe as they attempt to save Rumble Town from total destruction…

After the height of the battle, the fight between the Inquisition and the people of Cyfandir is coming to a close. The wizards have been beaten back and have no choice but to seek refuge in the forest. They can’t be counted out just yet, but how much do they have left in the tank? For even the forest seems to have fallen into the enemy’s grasp. Can Seth keep it together long enough to avoid destroying himself and all those around him?

Seth and his friends are separated as they head to Bôme, seat of the Inquisition, to retrieve the Nemeses their old ally Grimm stole from the Artemis Institute. They are beset by different groups of enemies, including members of a mysterious organization calling themselves the Mesnie. Their one chance of getting out of this mess lies with… Doc, their most cowardly and inept companion. Do Seth and company have any hope of reaching their destination safely… or even making it out alive?

Seth hasn’t given up on tracking down Grimm. But he and his friends run afoul of the Inquisition in the city of Bôme when they take down a Nemesis right in the royal garden. Seen as an attempt on the king’s life, Seth has no choice but to flee, aided by a one-time enemy. He isn’t the only one in a tight spot, either, with his friends Mélie and Ocoho also facing mortal danger. They’ll have to pull out all the stops if they want to make it out alive—whatever the cost.

Aiko and her best friend Eri spend all their time chatting on the social network Double.Me. They talk about everything, but above all about Dosan, a handsome high school student both are in love with. Tragically, Eri dies. Aiko, deeply affected by the disappearance of her friend, then sees a new Double.Me application come to life… in the form of an AI imitating her deceased friend. Aiko lets herself get caught up in these virtual conversations, but just how far will she let them take her?

Sherlock Holmes decides to take on a case which, in the beginning, seems to be no more than a matter of simple medical diagnosis for Dr. Watson. But the discovery of a mysterious powder on some clothes, as well as a ticket to a strange magic show, lead Sherlock to believe that his client is the victim of a large-scale plot, and that he’s not the only one… This volume offers an investigation squarely in the tradition of the master of mystery, Arthur Conan Doyle.

War rages on in Caislean Merlin. Queen Boadicée’s armies are up against the ropes, leading her to enter the battle herself, at her own peril—especially given the weapons at their opponent’s disposal. As if that weren’t enough, Mélie is up against an Inquisitor, and Seth’s friend Ocoho is facing her own personal crisis. Doc is coming with help, but will it help turn the tide? The wizards mustn’t lose, if they are to keep their freedom.
