The city-sized, deep-space cruise ship "Infinity 8"
stops halfway in route between the Milky Way and Andromeda, blocked by a massive
field of debris containing wreckage and artifacts from countless planets,
cultures, and possibly dimensions. The captain of the ship calls upon eight of
the ship's top security to investigate the anomaly, each one sent out in a
parallel time-loop to collect information which can then be assembled to
hopefully discover the truth before disaster erupts. Each time-loop lasts only
eight hours, at which point things snap back to the way they were when they
started, with no memories of their time in that window. Can the eight agents
solve the mystery without making things worse? Danger reveals itself within the
interspecies population on the ship, some of whom may know more than they lead
on . . .



The second in the eight-volume series of pulpy sci-fi
adventures, this time by legendary writer Lewis Trondheim and series designer
Olivier Vatine themselves. Another venture into the field of debris uncovers
some strange artifacts from numerous historical eras . . . including the head of
Adolf Hitler! Returning it to the ship for study turns disastrous as their
future science restores life and awareness to the head, giving rise to the
threat of a brand new Reich made up of robots and fanatics who've lost all
understanding of the genocidal agenda the former dictator originally unleashed!




Crucial information transmitted by first agent Yoko
Keren (at the end of Vol.1) has made the Captain decide to launch a new parallel
time-loop and activate a second agent: the impulsive Stella Moonkicker, who will
only have eight hours to collect the maximum amount of information possible.
Flanked by Bobbie, her boring probation robot, shadowing her since her most
recent bout of "unprofessional conduct," she is assigned as security
for a group of fanatics who long for the return of the Nazis, not fully
understanding exactly what the Nazis actual did or stood for. Their
centuries-old impression has become watered down to something like a simple
philosophy for peace . . . a far cry from the dangers of their actual original
philosophy. But when they find the cryonized head of Adolf Hitler floating in
the mysterious wreckage blocking the ship and try to reactivate it, the threat
of a Fourth Reich on the Infinity 8 proves to be very serious. Stella and Bobbie
will have to confront the reanimated Fuhrer, who is confused by this
strange future and hell-bent on taking over the world (again). But if the
Captain is killed, no reboot can take place and the advent of the Fourth Reich
will become the only time frame to have ever existed . . .
