A collection of three loosely-related stories that take place in a future Paris after the world has suffered two recent nuclear wars. In the first, a man named Nikopol is revived after 30 years only to be possessed by the Egyptian god Horus, who aspires to overthrow the dictatorial government. In the second, a blue-haired reporter gets caught up Nikopol and Horus's scheme, while also fleeing memories of her murderous past. And finally, the son of Nikopol travels to the heart of Saharan Africa to investigate a weather anomaly. The trilogy was adapted into a live action film in 2004 and a video game in 2008.
