Frederik Peeters’ sci-fi series reaches its spectacular conclusion.
After the dramatic game-changing events of Aama Vol. 3, Frederik Peeters’ planet-hopping
space epic reaches its earth-shattering conclusion. Readers have already encountered our
amnesiac hero Verloc Nim in three critically acclaimed volumes, The Smell of Warm Dust,
The Invisible Throng and The Desert of Mirrors. The fourth and final volume is You Will Be
Glorious, My Daughter.
During an expedition to the planet Ona(j), Verloc Nim encountered lethal bio-robotic
creatures and plants in an environment transformed by the Aama experiment. With the
loss of his team, including his brother, Verloc has been physically altered himself, gaining
new powers and becoming much more than man. But will that be enough for him to return
to his estranged family?
Amidst the futuristic hardware and spectacular landscapes, human drama remains at
the centre of this sci-fi fable. Aama complements the work of writers such as Philip K.
Dick, Frank Herbert, Brian Aldiss, as well as the fantastical worlds of Brian K. Vaughan’s
Y The Last Man, Jodorowsky’s The Incal, Interstellar and Prometheus. His dazzling twopage spreads in this volume in particular evoke the psychedelic visuals of Kubrik’s 2001: A
Space Odyssey.
Aama Vol 1: The Smell of Warm Dust and Vol 2: The Invisible Throng are now available on
SEQUENTIAL with added features, including research materials and more.
