Skarpskytten Jonas Crow vann inga medaljer under inbördeskriget; däremot en federal arresteringsorder för en rad brott han påstås ha begått under namnet Lance Strikland. Nu lever han som resande begravningsentreprenör och allt han har här i livet är sin likvagn, sin tama gam Jed, sin orubbliga cynism… och sin kärlek till Rose Prairie. Eftersom hon trodde att hennes närvaro utsatte honom för fara lämnade hon honom innan deras romans ens hann börja. Eftersom hans liv inte har någon mening utan henne har Jonas föresatt sig att hitta henne, oavsett riskerna.

Del 6 av Jonas Crow's äventyr. Den avslutande delen i denna episod. Efter att Rose Prairie lämnat honom lejs en djupt deprimerad Jonas Crow av Sid Beauchamp, en gammal vän från hans hårda ungdomsår i New Orleans. Sid är numera väletablerad som sheriff i Tucson, och ska dessutom gifta sig med Josephine Barclay, stadens rikaste änka. Men hon har ett villkor: Sid måste hämta tillbaka hennes döde son från apache-territoriet. Och det är därför han behöver sin gamle vän begravningsentreprenören. Vid första anblicken verkar det vara en ganska okomplicerad uppgift: Gräv upp och återför Caleb Barclays döda kropp efter att han förslavats och torterats av apacherna. Men den hänsynslösa apachekrigaren Salvaje avslöjar för Jonas att den döde – ”Den Vite Indianen” – inte alls var någon slav utan tvärtom hennes make och hennes sons far, och dessutom ledare för apachernas motstånd mot de vita. Än värre är att hans död var resultatet av Sids egna lömska planer! När Jonas får veta sanningen vänder han sin barndomsvän ryggen och försöker ta tillbaka kroppen så den kan återföras till sin riktiga viloplats. Tyvärr tas Jonas, den åldrade krigaren Kenitei, och Salvaje och hennes son Chato till fånga …

He was XIII's most dogged enemy from the start, but who really was the Mongoose, that mysterious assassin-for-hire who nearly killed the amnesiac hero so many times? During an encounter between him and Kim Rowland - an event that took place just before the start of the XIII series - the merciless hitman tells the story of his childhood and how he became a contract killer. 'Anyone would have in my circumstances', he claims. But would they? You be the judge.

In the near future, a prototype of artificial intelligence-controlled robot joins an elite military Search & Rescue team. To prove himself, he'll have to demonstrate his skills and abilities... and his humanity. Intelligent Artificial Neuromechanoid... Ian. It's the name of the newest recruit in Team 21 of the SRS - the 'Special Rescue Section'. Ian is an android, impossible to tell from a human being with the naked eye, and his creators claim that he's controlled by a true artificial intelligence - capable of learning, adapting, and even of experiencing emotions. Not every member of the team is happy about their new partner, but their higher-ups aren t giving them a choice - and the mission comes first...

Horrified at the memory of what he'd done during the Los Angeles riots, Ian tries to commit suicide. But his body turns out to be simply too durable. Injured but alive, he's taken in by the inhabitants of the city's slums. Meanwhile, the rest of team 21, along with Ian's creators, are summoned to the Pentagon where a rather unusual general orders them to help the American government locate the android... and destroy him!

A year has passed since the Los Angeles riots, but Ian is still being hunted by the Pentagon. Extremely hostile treatment by the media has also made him a favoured target of a majority of American citizens. Tracked down by an ambitious reporter, the android gets in touch with an eccentric billionaire who promises to tell him what the Nome is - that super-powerful artificial entity with whom he seems to have a mysterious bond... A merciless cascade of new revelations follows.
