Around the Universe

Spaceship

A wacky galactic adventure

Around the Universe Le Tour de l'Univers is H2G2 on acid and Lanfeust in zero G! It's a cosmic odyssey where E.T. doesn't want to go home, Teal'c doesn't even raise an eyebrow, and Yoda has a syntactic stroke.

Between biting satire, wacky theories, and intergalactic non-brawls, this trilogy will shake up your neurons and your funny bones, and maybe even challenge the laws of physics—you know, the ones that turn your perfectly fitted Bermuda shorts into a pool hat on the first jump.

Do you enjoy sci-fi that doesn't take itself too seriously but delivers the show? Buckle up, it's going to be more hair-raising than a teleportation without coordinates!

After the Destruction of the Universe

Beyond Infinity

In this final installment of the trilogy, Victor must face the greatest threat the multiverse has ever known: an entity that feeds on logic itself. Between cosmic mysteries, existential revelations, and intergalactic gags, this epic conclusion invites reflection on the meaning of existence while keeping a smile in the face of the universe's fundamental absurdity.
