A bitten-off ear, the best board game in the universe, and love-crazed bounty hunters... the latest comic volume of SAGA takes it up a notch! The journey continues through space aboard the most unusual spaceship ever entered, heading to Quietus, the home planet of D. Oswald Heist. For some, his book is just a romance novel, while for others, it seems to be a manifesto... But what exactly is it about or for? And above all: What is the opposite of war? Alana and Marko want to ask the author their questions directly, even though Marko's recently widowed mother, Klara, cannot understand any of it. Meanwhile, the sensationalist press has caught wind of the young family's crazy escape: the two reporters Doff and Upsher from the high-circulation "Hebdomadal" are sniffing out the story of their lives and trying to land on the scene.
