Enfin disponible en français, Scarlet Traces est un passionnant récit mêlant habilement thriller et science-fiction et mené de main de maître par Ian Edginton et D'Israeli.
Grâce à HG Wells, nous savons que les martiens ont jadis tenté d'envahir notre monde. Malheureusement pour eux, ils ne purent resister aux germes terrestres qui eurent raison d'eux alors que nos armes étaient impuissantes. Mais que devint tout le matériel abandonné derrière eux par les martiens ?
Dix ans après la guerre, la Grande-Bretagne a réussi à maîtriser
cette technologie et l'a incorporée à la vie quotidienne de tout un chacun,
assurant ainsi son statut de première puissance mondiale. Mais derrière ce monde
idyllique se dissimule un lourd secret, un secret qui pourrait ébranler l'Empire
s'il venait à être révélé.
Le colonel Robert Autumn et son ami le sergent
Currie se trouvent malgré eux embarqués sur la piste de ce mystère, mais
l'adversaire auquel ils ont affaire ne reculera devant rien pour atteindre son
but malsain !
Ian's also got work with D'Israeli on "Scarlet Traces: The Great Game."
"It's the mini-series sequel to the first 'Scarlet Traces' hardcover by myself and the ever delightful Matt Brooker (aka D'Israeli). As with the hardcover it's being published by Dark Horse and picks up roughly forty years after where the last story left off. After four decades of conflict, the British invasion of Mars has ground into a bloody stalemate in the dust of the red planet. However as the captive Martian from the first series said, 'There are worst things on Mars than us.' This time we find out exactly what he meant." janv.2005

2006
Writer: Ian Edginton
Artist: D'Israeli
This fantastical new miniseries picks up where the critically acclaimed hardcover left off.
After almost four decades of conflict, the British invasion of Mars has
ground into a bloody stalemate in the dust of the red planet.
Launched to fanfares and cheers, the times and mood have changed, as
the British Government under the iron hand of Prime Minister Spry
struggles to wage a war another world away while keeping its grip on an
increasingly troubled and turbulent empire.
Riven with revolt
and revolution, the glory that was Great Britain is unravelling at the
seams with freedom and free speech brutally sacrificed to maintain
order. However, this is nothing compared to what is happening on Mars,
and the worst is yet to come!
• Sequel to the best comic book of all time, Scarlet Traces.
• From the creators of the fan-favorite Kingdom of the Wicked!

shuttle only by the ejection of her life pod. What is it about this
battle that has consumed the lives of so many soldiers, and what does
Prime Minister Spry have up his nasty little sleeve? As the last great
battle in the War of the Worlds rages around her, and the Martians
close in, she stumbles across the secret history of the planet . . .
and an even greater revelation that could spell the extinction of all
human life on Earth!
