Ambassador of the Shadows

Who threatens the diplomatic future of Earth? And who are the mysterious Shadows?

Point Central is a multicultural space station that serves as a sort of United Nations to the galaxy. Tasked with protecting the new ambassador from Earth, Valerian is kidnapped alongside his charge in a lightning commando attack. It's up to Laureline to do all the heavy lifting and slog through the seedy bowels of the station as she tries to locate and rescue them--and figure out who kidnapped them and why.
