Across the ocean, there is a wonderful, magical land. A paradise of free markets and genetically-altered chicken! This land, still young and full of hope (except for the downtrodden) truly does exist. It is called the United States of America, and its ruler is Mister President.
He is reelected! And the watchword of his new term is better international politics. Everyone take cover! In this second volume, Mister President travels to the Old World, starting with a trip to France. But the ghost of General de Gaulle is lurking in the halls of the Elysée in Paris, and he insists on giving Mister President a hard time. The death of Arafat and the pope are among the other trippy, absurd obstacles he has to face.
Being the boss of the free world is a full-time job. Sometimes there are tasks that just don’t get seen all the way through to the end. The solution in here: time travel! In this volume, Mister President teams up with the scientists at the Pentagon to travel back in time and try to change the future to his advantage. Will he succeed?

Luckily, Louca will get a helping hand from a certain fellow named Nathan.

Will Nathan uncover the tragic secret behind his premature passing? The pressure is on!
The pressure is on and the clock is ticking in Book 3! As his team prepares for the big, fateful match against the mighty Condors, Louca is having his usual hard time concentrating. What can he do to impress Julie? How can he make sure not to let his little brother down?
