Akutézoïde

In a distant future, Earth embraces and exploits extraterrestrial arrivals. Jérémy and Gabriel adopt an Akutezoid child, unaware of the psychic network that governs its species—one built on thought communication. Those unable to connect, like the violent outcast Orace, are exiled. But it is Orace who will uncover the truth behind the Akutezoids’ forced return to their home planet.

Akutezoïde explores the dangers of collective intelligence and ultra-communication. What remains of freedom and identity in a society where individuals are mentally linked from birth?

In his debut book, Ludovic Lalliat delivers a brutal space opera in the spirit of 1970s sci-fi—an uncompromising, political blow to techno-utopias.

We pack books to arrive in the condition described: protected corners, rigid backing, paper cushioning, and a sturdy outer package. Heavier or collectible editions receive an extra layer of protection. Any defects are documented on the product page—packing doesn’t hide condition, it reduces transit risk.

We ship from Germany, usually on the next business day after payment. Germany: typically 2–5 business days, EU: often 3–7 business days; international depends on destination and customs. Tracking is included for all services and is provided once the parcel is handed over to the carrier. During peak periods, transit times may extend. See the Shipping Policy.

Returns are possible within 30 days of delivery (e.g., if the item doesn’t match the description or you changed your mind). Please contact us before sending anything back—we’ll provide the return address and the best return option. Items should be returned in the same condition as received. Once the return is received and checked, we refund to the original payment method. See the Refund Policy.
