The Septimus Wave (Blake & Mortimer)

Description

It’s been several months since the events of The Yellow M, but the evil of Professor Septimus still echoes around London. Important figures of the capital’s jet set come together around the questionable values the mad scientist defended. Olrik is forced to resort to opium in order to forget he was guinea pig. As for Mortimer, he too is trying, albeit for more humanist reasons, to revive certain aspects of Septimus’s work—to Blake’s extreme concern… Review: Fun adventure read - I love reading the original series as a kid. Still fun to read as an adult Review: Not one of Blake & Mortimer's best - Of all the Blake & Mortimer adventures this one was a real disappointment. The excellent artwork, articulate dialogue, and classic 50's atmosphere was still there, but the story line was muddled and lacked direction, the adventure was limited, and the outcome was unusually predictable. It's still worth a read and I'm glad that I bought the book, but it doesn't stack up compared with other recent offerings.
