January 1889, the coast of Liverpool... a Leviathan is dying on the muddy banks of the Mersey. The ingratitude of men has transformed the Great Eastern, a gigantic steamship built thirty years earlier, into a miserable wreck, butchered day after day by an army of scrap-men. But the belly of the beast harbours a macabre secret, the discovery of which will trigger an investigation. When the affair proves politically sensitive, the case is entrusted to Queen Victoria’s secret police: Special Branch.

Reading order:
With so many books, Troy may seem a little daunting to get into, but it's really quite simple. Only the story of Lanfeust (a great place to start) has continuity, and it goes like this: First Lanfeust of Troy, then Lanfeust of the Stars, and finally, Lanfeust Odyssey (which is still ongoing). Everything else takes place hundreds or even thousands of years in the past in various corners of the world, and you can jump in anywhere without fear of spoilers.

Achilles, a man in his forties, has just buried his parents. He likes to sit on the beach below his house and watch the passing ships heading for the high seas. So much so that one evening he falls asleep sitting on his chair with both feet firmly buried in the sand. However, when he awakes he is unable to move: during the night he has literally taken root. As a huge storm brews over his island, a seagull flies towards him. The seagull, which can talk, informs Achilles on which day of the week he will die: a Tuesday. But which one? That's the question. Fortunately today is a Wednesday. The tide is rising and will soon flood the beach. If the seagull is telling the truth Achilles needs to uproot himself quickly to avoid drowning. It would appear that the time has come for him to cease contemplating passing ships...
