Valerian and Laureline's ship has crash-landed on an uncharted
planetoid. The two castaways quickly discover a vast ship cemetery,
leading them to believe that their arrival was not an accident. Before
long, they make contact with a population whose sole purpose seems to be
to gather and produce food for a mysterious 'Master.' The Terran agents
aren't going to be turned into slaves easily, but the Master enforces
his will through his terrible agents; the Birds of Madness.
