AAMA – serie

In the distant future, Verloc Nim wakes up in the middle of nowhere suffering from complete amnesia. He remembers nothing of his former life. But when Verloc is handed his diary by a robot-monkey called Churchill, he is able to revisit his past. His life, he discovers, has been a miserable one. He lost his business, his family and his friends, simply because he refused the technological advancements pushed on him by society: the pharyngeal filter, the eye implants, the genetic modifications – Verloc went without all these. He had been astray in a society he deeply resented – until his brother, Conrad, took him to another planet to retrieve a mysterious biorobotic experiment called AÂMA...

Verloc Nim has travelled with his brother Conrad to the desert planet Ona(ji) to recover the mysterious biorobotic experiment aama. The planet is home to an abandoned group of scientists, who have been left to their fate. In the second volume of Frederik Peeters’ science fiction series, Conrad sets up an expedition to find the professor who has taken aama to another part of the planet. With the assistance of their robot-ape Churchill, Verloc and Conrad embark on a journey that brings spectacular discoveries and unsettling encounters… Aama won the 'Best Series' prize at the Angoulême International Comics Festival in 2013.
