In a world where police detectives are ranked based on whether their
investigation makes a good story, DI Jack Spratt works in Reading at the
Nursery Crime Division. It threatens to be closed because, unless his famous
rival Chymes, Spratt does not try to embellish his investigations, which don't
make good stories. Spratt is tasked to investigate the death of Humpty Dumpty.
The latter is known to have been involved in shady business, making money
quickly and loosing it equally quickly, but apparently always with a noble
purpose. Before his death, he bought a large number of shares of the
once-flourishing Spongg Footcare company and pledged to make a huge donation
to the St Cerebellum psychiatric hospital where he had been a patient for
forty years. Forensic analysis then reveals that Humpty has been shot. Several
people of interest are found dead during the investigation: a neighbour who
may have seen the shooter, a man who had stolen the golden egg goose and
murdered the woodcutter owning it (an case for which Chymes completely made up
the investigation a year earlier) who was killed a year earlier by Humpty's
ex-wife who thought she was killing Humpty, said ex-wife who then committed
suicide, an ex-professor from the Foot Museum who had stolen the world's
largest verruca in order to make a super verruca virus at the same time as its
cure. The evidence leads to Spongg who would benefit from the epidemic by
selling the cure and who plans to remarry Lola Vavoom, Humpty's wife since two
weeks before his death and who inherits Humpty's shares of Speongg Footcare. A
late forensic analysis shows that Humpty, basically a giant egg, had however
been fertilized by Dr Quatt, a mad scientists working at St Cerebellum. The
egg hatched just as Humpty was shot, freeing a killer dinosaur genetically
created by Dr Spatt, St Cerebellum's resident mad scientist, in order to exact
vengeance on the Jellyman, a mystical political leader who is in Reading for a
ceremony in a place where people have to be barefoot (where the virus would
have started the epidemic). Jack fights but fails to catch Spongg at his
surrealistic mansion before finally fighting the monster at his mother's house
where a giant beanstalk happens to be growing.

Masquerade in Lodi
© Amazon.fr
In Lodi on the eve of the Bastard's Day, Penric is asked to check if a madman
who had just been saved from the sea by fishermen. The man is confused because
he got a demon from a dying dolphin. Soon after Penric makes his diagnostic,
the man flees the hospital and hides in the city. Penric seeks the help from
Chio, the local saint, a young woman living in an orphanage, the only kind of
person who can free the man from its demon. They manage to identify the man
as Ree, the son of a local merchant who was at sea with his cousin Merin. They
eventually find Ree hiding in a warehouse, fighting Merin who is trying to
kill him. After Penric has immobilized the two men and Chio has returned the
demon to its god, Ree reveals that Merin had thrown him overboard because he
suspected him of stealing.
The Orphans of Raspay
On his way back home to Orbas, Penric's ship is boarded by pirates and he is
taken prisoner. He befriends two orphan children who also are prisoner. On the
island of Lantihera, controlled by pirates and slavers, Penric manages to keep
the two children safe, and takes them with him when he escapes. He first
rescues the sailors from his ship form the jail where they were waiting to be
sold as slaves, but afraid of the sorcerer, they flee the island without him.
Penric then wreaks havoc in the harbour, sinking ships and burning buildings,
but with little chance of finding a ship on which to flee. He and the two
children are then saved in the nick of time by his brother-in-law Adelis who
was sent with a fleet to put a stop to the pirates' activities. Penric then
goes back home with the children and places them as apprentices in a house of
his order.
The Physicians of Vilnoc
Adelis asks Penric to investigate a mysterious disease that is killing a lot
of his soldiers. Penric can use his magic to help the sick get step-by-step
better, but the situation becomes desperate as the number of sick people
increases and the mode of contagion cannot be determined (a wild experiment
conducted by the only remaining army physician on himself proves it's not
transmitted by the fleas on the rats). Penric also sends letters asking
neighbouring cities to send sorcerers, but they remain unanswered. From a
nearby camp of Rusylli prisoners he learns the name of the disease to be the
blue witch. The arrival of Dubro, a inexperienced b fast-learning sorcerer,
provides help, but as Adelis comes back from an expedition the number of sick
soldiers increases again. During a desperate prayer to the Bastard, Penric is
bitten by a blue fly. He also discovers that the army parks just outside the
garrison sick and dying horses that suffer from the same disease. He then
understand that all horses must be screened and the sick ones must be killed
and burnt. This action and the sorcerers killing as many flies as they can
allows to stop the epidemic and for Penric to go back home.

Leto Atreides is ordered by the Emperor to take control of the planet Arrakis
from which the Harkonnen have been asked to leave. When the Atreides
household arrives on Arrakis, they find that before leaving, the Harkonnen
have sabotaged most of the equipment used for harvesting the spice from the
desert. Atreides also attempts to make peace with the Fremen, who inhabit
the planet since before the spice was discovered and started to play an
important role in interstellar navigation. The Fremen, dominated by the
Harkonnen, also believe that Leto's son Paul is the Mahdi who is prophesied to
come some day and lead the Fremen. The emperor's purpose in ordering the
Atreides to Arrakis is actually to trigger a war between them and the
Harkonnen in order to get rid of two Great Houses that would threaten his
authority. Paul also happens to be the result of centuries of genetic
selection by the Bene Gesserit, a secretive sisterhood to whom his mother
Jessica belongs and who aims to create a being who will guide humanity to a
better future. When the Harkonnen attack the Atreides, Leto and most of his
household are killed; Paul and Jessica escape, eventually find the Stilgar
tribe of Fremen about whom Paul has had recurrent dreams.

Penric's Mission
Penric is on a diplomatic mission to Patos to contact General Adelis Arisaydia
who seems to want to defect to Adria. Upon arrival he is arrested as a spy and
left to drown in an underground cell. After escaping, he discovers that the
general has been blinded on orders of the emperor of Patos who fears he would
try and seize power for himself. The Arisaydia is under the care of his sister
Nikys and Penric, feeling guilty of having provided the emperor with an excuse
to attack his rival, presents himself to Nikys as a physician and over the
course of a week manages to repair his eyes, secretly using sorcery. When the
emperor's men come to ensure Arisaydia has indeed become harmless they find
out he can actually see and attack him. Penric neutralizes them and takes the
general and is sister with him away from the city. Penric wants to take them
to Adria, but the general believes that Orbas is easier and safer. They flee
for a couple of days, until the emperor's men catch up with them, accompanied
by another sorcerer. Penric fights him and wins, killing or chasing away the
rest of the soldiers.
Mira's Last Dance
Penric, Arisaydia and Nikys are still fleeing from Patos and find refuge at
a bordello in Sosie. In exchange for food and shelter, Penric rids the place
and the customers of the lice and other parasites and even treats the owner's
breast cancer. Easily recognizable, Penric decides to disguise himself as
Mira, the fifth rider of his demon and a rich and independent woman, eccentric
enough to be accompanied by two masked servants, Adelis and Nikys. To test his
Mira persona, Penric mingles among the customers and catches the eye of
General Chadro who insists on spending the night with Mira. Mira's personality
convinces Penric that Chadro could provide the money they need to continue
their travels towards Orbas, so she takes over, promising Penric he would not
even need to take his clothes off. Nikys, who has started to get attracted to
Penric notices that if she marries him she would also marry Desdemona and all
the past personalities, which puts her off. The purse however let them rent a
carriage with horses. When they almost reach the border, they are caught up by
a group of soldiers, but instead of being arrested, it is Chadro who attempts
one last time to convince Mira to marry him. In Orbas, they are welcomed by
the duke who hires all three of them. Some weeks later, as Adelis already left
to fight for the duke, Penric proposes to Nikys but she refuses as she does
not want to have to share Penric with all the other personalities.
The Prisoner of Limnos
In Orbas, Nikys receives a coded message from Lady Tanar, the woman in
Thasalon Adelis was meant to marry before falling into disgrace. The message
informs her that her mother was taken prisoner and sent to the island of
Limnos, in a retreat of the Daughter's Order from which she cannot leave.
Nikys asks Penric to accompany her to Limnos and free her mother. They first
visit Tanar in secret, who welcomes them and agrees to help them. As only
women are allowed in the retreat, Tanar and Nikys disguise Penric into a
woman. The plan is to find Nikys' mother and exchange her with Penric. The
latter will give them the night to escape as far as possible from Limnos
before himself escaping, somehow and rejoining them in Akylaxio. They are
accompanied by Bosha, Tanar's faithful servant since her childhood. The
retreat is an impregnable fortress at the top of a cliff a thousand feet tall.
The plan goes well, but in the middle of the night Penric is woken up by a man
who entered through the window: Nikys' half-brother Ikos who is a bridge
builder and who had also planned to save his mother. Penric and Ikos escape
using the latter's rope-and-pulleys contraption. The manage to leave the
island on a ship belonging to friends of Ikos' and meet with Nikys and her
mother who also managed to reach Akylaxio. As they go through customs, an
imperial courier arrives with probably a description of the fugitive. Using
his powers, Penric puts a geas on him, making him forget his mission. They
then embark on a ship for Orbas. During the trip, Nikys discusses with
Desdemona, comes to terms with Penric hosting multiple personalities.

its orders and to kill the alien with the help of the city's rats, who can be
controlled by one of the members of the squad.

In a totalitarian London, Evey is harassed by members of the political police
because she's walking outside after curfew. She is saved by a man wearing a
Guy Fawkes mask who introducing himself as “V”. V takes Evey to the roof of
a building to admire his work: destroying the Old Bailey. The next morning, by
hijacking the public television network, V invites the citizens to join him in
exactly on year from now, on November 5th, outside the House of Parliament.
Evey helps V escape and he takes her to his lair. V kills three members of the
ruling political party, the last one with Evey's help, but she betrays him and
flees. Finch, a policeman assigned to capture V, discovers that twenty years
earlier the murder victims were all working at a secret facility doing
research on human beings to create a new virus. Only one human guinea pig
developed a natural immunity, allowing to produce a cure, but he escaped the
facility during a fire. The virus killed hundred of thousands in what was
presumed to be a terrorist attack. The political situation then allowed
Sutler, the head of the now ruling party, to seize power and install a
dictatorship. Simultaneously, selling the cure enriched some members of the
party. Evey takes shelter with her former boss, but his house is attacked
because his latest TV show makes fun of Sutler. Evey hides, but is eventually
caught, imprisoned and tortured. She refuses to submit to her captors and is
then released and discovers she was actually being manipulated by V who was
teaching her (the hard way) how not to be afraid anymore. Realizing that V is
avenging the death of human guinea pigs, she promises to see him again before
November 5th. V then convinces Creedy, head of the secret police, to betray
Sutler and replace him in exchange of V's surrender. As November 5th
approaches, V distributes hundreds of thousand of Guy Fawkes masks across the
country leading to a rise of anonymous chaos and eventually riots. V takes
Evey to the restored London underground where a train full of explosives is
programmed to go under the House of Parliament and gives her the choice to
start the train or not. V then meets Creed who delivers Sutler to him and he
kills them both, getting mortally wounded in the process before going and
lying down in the train. Finch finds Evey and V's body at that moment, but he
allows to start the train. With Sutler and Creedy dead, the soldiers deployed
on the street have no order to stop the countless citizens dressed as V as the
converge towards Parliament House and witness its destruction.
