In the 28th Century, The Galactic Empire thinks it has put an end to all crises and conflicts having segmented humanity into in 7 sectors and assigned a unique function: spirituality, commerce, pleasure, war, order and creativity. But in this seemingly ' perfect' system, an epidemic of sterility is spreading fast. Somewhere in the galaxy, Loth and Jezriel happen to be in the same courtroom, about to be judged. He defected. She refused to give her body without consent. They' ll soon escape, meet other outcasts like them and will end up at the centre of a vast operation to save our kind. Can they succeed?
Richard Malka is a renowned French lawyer (he was among the ones defending satiric magazine Charlie Hebdo following the magazine' s publication of Mohammad caricatures). He has always been a science fiction and comic book fan. Since the early 2000s, he has been able to balance his career in the Law with a successful one in publishing with titles like L' Ordre de Ciceron, Section financiere (with Andrea Mutti) and the classic cartoon Les Pieds Nickeles. Segments, published between 2011 and 2014 in France, was the first comic script he ever penned but ended up one of his most recent published works. Juan Gimenez (1943-2020) was an Argentinian artist. At the end of the 70s he left his home country and ended up in Europe, where he began to work for Italian, Spanish and French publishers. In 1979 he published Estrella Negra, his first color work quickly followed by A Question of Time, The Fourth Power, Leo Roa and Eternal Game, cementing his reputation as a master of the Science Fiction genre. In 1992, Gimenez teams up with writer Alejandro Jodorowsky for the Metabarons saga, an epic adventure spinning off the legendary Incal series. Together, they will release eight volumes of the series. One of his last published works was Segments. He passed away on April 2nd, 2020 from COVID 19.
