On planet Perdide, an attack of giant hornets leaves young Piel alone in a wrecked car with his dying father. A mayday message reaches their friend Jaffar, an adventurer travelling through space. Onboard Jaffar’s shuttle are the renegade Prince Matton, his fiancée, and Silbad, who knows Perdide well. Thus begins an incredible race across space to save Piel.

Naive, gorgeous model Dany is hitchhiking around Europe from job to job saving for a Porsche and finds herself subject to the frequently-dark sexual proclivities of the drivers she meets. A butterfly hunter, a libertine couple fond of the whip, a sex maniac hearse driver, a dangerous madman who confuses women and sheep, a gangster duo, and a transvestite singer: none can resist Dany's beauty and innocence.

Antoine Saint-Just, comrade of Robespierre and youngest member of the Committee of Public Safety, is drawn into the tempestuous political & military conflicts of France under the Terror.

From flashes of genius to curious experiments, humankind's innovations lead explorers and inventors on a brilliant journey of discovery in this series.
