Pourquoi? On le comprendra dès les premières pages de cette seconde enquête menée par le lieutenant Daniel Duval, de la Sûreté du Québec, qui a fait ses premières armes dans Nébulosité croissante en fin de journée.

Praxeology, the science of human action, is a lens through which truthfulness of the world is revealed. Truth goggles, if you will. Praxeology teaches us that everything going on in our society is rooted in the wills and desires of individuals. Starting from an irrefutable set of statements about human beings, we can come to conclusions about human behavior that are true regardless of what any political ideology might assert.

The day of the Great Battle has finally arrived as the forces of light and dark face off in one last desperate attempt that will seal the fate of the three galaxies.

Armored assault vehicles and soldiers equipped with advanced technology weapons fight shoulder to shoulder alongside magic users and elves wielding swords and spears. Above it all, fleets of space-going dreadnaughts slug it out in the cold vacuum of space for domination.

In February 1959, a group of friends went on a ski-hiking trip to a remote mountain in the northern Urals. Something killed them. When a rescue expedition eventually found their camp, they discovered that for some unknown reason, the nine friends had cut their way out of their tent (instead of simply opening the flaps) and fled down the mountain, half undressed and without their shoes.

The fate of three galaxies hangs in the balance as two massive space armadas assemble.

Although generally considered one of Portugal's greatest poets, Fernando António Nogueira Pessoa (1888-1935) published but one book in Portuguese in his lifetime. That book, Message (Portuguese Mensagem), the esoteric epic at which he labored sporadically for more than 20 years before finally publishing it in the year prior to his death, is undoubtedly essential to an understanding of Pessoa's poetic vision, yet it remains, at least in the English-speaking world, relatively unknown and unread.
