Dvanaestogodišnja Sophia i njezin mlađi brat Mark u lokalnoj knjižnici pronalaze tajanstvenu knjigu i odnose je kući. Isprva izgleda samo kao neka stara zbirka priča, ali djeca će ubrzo otkriti da se radi o portalu u drugi svijet, Almation – i odjednom će se naći zarobljeni u njemu. Kako bi se vratili kući, Sophia i Mark morat će riješiti mnoštvo zagonetki, suočiti se s neočekivanim opasnostima i sklopiti isto tako neočekivana prijateljstva – ali možda čak ni to neće biti dovoljno. Pun pustolovina, izazova i fantastičnih stvorova, svijet Almationa odvest će Sophiju i Marka na uzbudljivo putovanje i podučiti ih snazi priča.

The unhappy inhabitants of planet Krikkit are sick of looking at the night sky above their heads--so they plan to destroy it. The universe, that is. Now only five individuals stand between the white killer robots of Krikkit and their goal of total annihilation. They are Arthur Dent, a mild-mannered space and time traveler, who tries to learn how to fly by throwing himself at the ground and missing ; Ford Prefect, his best friend, who decides to go insane to see if he likes it ; Slartibartfast, the indomitable vice president of the Campaign for Real Time, who travels in a ship powered by irrational behavior; Zaphod Beeblebrox, the two-headed, three-armed ex-head honcho of the Universe ; and Trillian, the sexy space cadet who is torn between a persistent Thunder God and a very depressed Beeblebrox. How will it all end? Will it end? Only this stalwart crew knows as they try to avert "universal" Armageddon and save life as we know it--and don't know it.
Čovječanstvo se raširilo po svemiru no, dok je prije za to moralo moljakati usluge jedine druge poznate inteligentne rase, novi pogon – popularno nazvan hipersvemirskim – omogućio je širenje ljudske rase daleko izvan dotadašnjih granica. Istraživački i radoznali mentalitet čovječanstva iznenada će se sudariti s beskrajem i tamom svemira, razotkrivajući našu krhkost naspram vječnosti i neograničenosti.Budeći sjećanja na daleku budućnost, Milena Benini kritički i oštroumno progovara o nama, našem odnosu prema svijetu i prošlosti uspješno manipulirajući prepoznatljivim žanrovskim elementima.

Sillage je jedan od najvećih strip hitova u Evropi u posljednjih nekoliko godina. Samo u Francuskoj svaki album ovog naučno fantastičnog serijala scenariste Jeana Davida Morvana i crtača Phillipea Bucheta proda se u više stotina hiljada primjeraka što je u današnje vreme prava senzacija. Prvi album iz serijala, Do vatre i pepela otkriva nam šta se krije iza kontroverznog imena Brazda. Brazda (Sillage) je višerasni konvoj svemirskih brodova sastavljen od brojnih svemirskih vrsta koje su u potrazi za planetima pogodnima za kolonizaciju. Hottardi, rasa iz konvoja, baca oko na jednu divlju planetu pokrivenu džunglom i okeanima koji – po njihovim kriterijumima – nije nastanjen ni jednom inteligentnom vrstom. Kako bi planetu prilagodili sopstvenim potrebama bogatu površinu moraju uništiti do vatre i pepela. Ali po dolasku na planetu sreću Nävis, divlje dete iz vrste koju Brazda dotad nije upoznala: ljudske.
Facing annihilation at the hands of the warlike Vogons is a curious time to have a craving for tea. It could only happen to the cosmically displaced Arthur Dent and his comrades in arms as they hurtle across space powered by pure improbability - and desperately in search of a place to eat. Among Arthur's motley shipmates are Ford Prefect, a longtime friend and expert contributor to the 'Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy'; Zaphod Beeblebrox, the three-armed, two-headed ex-president of the galaxy; Tricia McMillan, a fellow Earth refugee who's gone native (her name is Trillian now); and Marvin, the moody android who suffers nothing and no one very gladly. Their destination? The ultimate hot spot for an evening of apocalyptic entertainment and fine dining, where the food (literally) speaks for itself.
