Somewhere in the vast jumble of worlds, there is one where, more than anywhere else, the idea of aging and dying deeply affects people. Its name? Azimut. But is there a way to escape death? Perhaps not elsewhere, but in this world, one is allowed to hope for it. At least, this is the theory of the old professor Albrecht Uhrmacher, who studies the whims of time aboard his laboratory ship. Meanwhile, the retired researcher Quentin von Peru has made the painful discovery after 567 days at sea that the North Pole has vanished. A universe full of imagination and ingenuity from the brilliant author duo Lupano/Andreae.
