A Google on this turns up exactly nothing, so a description would be very much appreciated.

Thanks for the up though!

Seems the 4th book is just coming out in France. The name is 'Psychic Virus'. 3rd book was called 'Suicide Operation'

This may be a better summary:

Metronom '- Volume 1 - Zero tolerance
In the near future, in a population crushed by a draconian regime where even suicide is prohibited, a woman fights for truth and for its survival.

Lynn has no news of her husband since he left for a routine mission in space for 8 weeks. Besides her desire to know what happened, she fights to survive: the salary of her husband was cut since his disappearance! Despite the room omerta, she manages to pull some information to her sister serving in ministry: the mission was hit by a virus, it's back on earth but all participants are in quarantine. The story reaches the ears of a seditious, nosy and somewhat anarchist (therefore never published!) journalist and decides to investigate through his contacts. He manages to learn where time has a big role to play, but is quickly stopped on suspicion of having sent the president a subversive book about the dictatorship as a children's story, entitled METRONOM ' ?

The design and the colors are wonderful Grun to illustrate this stifling world where individuals, even deprived of hope, struggle to survive. A tetralogy of SF that evokes more than respectable references, as Brazil , Blade Runner and Total Recall , the novels of Philip K. Dick, the series SOS Bonheur Griffo and Van Hamme? a deserved filiation, since the great Enki Bilal wished to preface this first volume!
