Before Blake & Mortimer: the Fiery Arrow

The Marduk expedition has returned victorious to Norlandia, bearing a precious sample of Uradium. Now the professor can test his revolutionary U Ray's potency when combined with the miracle ore.

The Imperial Austradian Army will simply take possession of it in a military operation - and who cares if that's where Prince Nazca's people live?
