Espions de famille #2

A looming robot silhouette dominates the skyline behind two young kids — one in a red jumpsuit, the other in a striped top — while a gruff, tattooed man sits apart, arms crossed, on a simple chair. Thierry Gaudin and Romain Ronzeau deliver a fun mix of family tension and sci-fi threat in this second installment of Espions de famille, subtitled B707 ne répond plus. Published by Bayard Presse in 2012, it's a charming adventure series that clearly isn't short on oversized mechanical menace.
