Someone is intent on making XIII's life «interesting» again.
After all his adventures across the American continent, after defeating his many enemies, XIII is trying to live a simple life in the house he inherited, where it all started. It's not always easy-not everyone is happy to have such an infamous man in the area, and his skills are in high demand with some people of varying integrity. His memories are still locked away, too, and some people want to keep it that way.
XIII is hiding in France at the Préseaus, after a past more nebulous he even believed possible caught up to him again. But the organisation that's after him hasn't said its last word, and has considerable means at its disposal. It lures Jones, on duty in Afghanistan, into a terrible ambush, for the sole purpose of serving as bait for the amnesiac - who immediately rushes to her rescue. Meanwhile, Betty Barnowsky-Préseau is off to Maine to dig into XIII's past...

Un homme gravement blessé s'échoue sur une plage. Amnésique, tout ce qui lui reste pour retrouver son identité est un mystérieux tatouage: XIII. Le second cycle d'une série d'aventure légendaire!
Toujours en compagnie d'Annika, Jason McLane consulte un spécialiste afin de déchiffrer les documents qu'il a redécouverts en Hollande. Les textes, une fois traduits, offrent des révélations époustouflantes, de nature à changer toute la carte géopolitique. Mais les tueurs de la Fondation Mayflower sont toujours à leurs trousses, et en Afghanistan, Jones et Carrington tombent de Charybde en Scylla. Pour sauver leurs peaux - et la sienne - XIII devra jouer serré ... et le prix à payer sera peut-être élevé.
A document has surfaced, listing the names of American citizens who had shady dealings with the secret police of former East Germany. The CIA sends Alpha to escort its owner and his family, but some of the implicated people are influential and have a long reach, while other countries see in the list an opportunity to blackmail potential agents within the higher spheres of US power. It is a mission that will definitely not be a pleasure cruise.
The fall of the Berlin Wall and the dismantling of the Soviet empire changed the world, engendered new rivalries and started a new kind of Cold War. From Paris to Moscow, from Berlin to The Hague and New York, mafia hotshots, ex-members of the Nomenklatura, powerful financial and industrial organisations, and spies from all sides are involved in a political and economic war - and the stakes are high. Alpha, a CIA agent, has taken it on himself to fight this endemic greed and corruption - even when he has to fight his own bosses.
La Guerre Froide : l'age d'or des espions américains et soviétiques, un temps où tout était simple et direct. Il y avait les bons et les méchants. Depuis, les officiers de la CIA comme Alpha se sentent souvent plus des représentants de commerce que des agents secrets. Mais quand les cadavres commencent à s'accumuler à Washington, une mission qui consistait à jouer les guides touristiques pour une délégation russe se transforme soudain en quelque chose de bien plus dangereux.
