I januar 1948 på en mørk landevej tredive mil uden for London nærmer en solid sedan sig den militære lufthavn ved Hasley. I bilen befinder sig major Rubert Humbletweed, der skal på en hemmelig mission til Mellemøsten for den britiske generalstab. Få dage senere ankommer en mystisk enarmet tysker gedulgt fra Paraguay til en stormomsust kyststrækning i det nordvestlige Irland. I Centaur Club i London finder professor Mortimer hverken behag i den tørstegte roastbeef eller hans ven kaptajn Blakes anmodning. Blake vil have Mortimer til at rejse til Pakistan for at ændre aktiveringskoderne i de resterende fem eksemplarer af Sværdfiskene – de enestående kampfly, professoren har opfundet, og som befinder sig på Makran-basen. Efter Indiens nylige selvstændighed og Pakistans løsrivelse er britisk militær tilstedeværelse mildt sagt uvelkommen i landet. Blake selv, som for nylig har overtaget ledelsen af den britiske kontraspionage, MI5, må haste til Ulster, hvor en af hans agenter giver foruroligende meldinger om aktiviteter i Den Irske Republikanske Hær, IRA. Langsomt begynder det at stå klart for briterne, at scenen er sat for et monumentalt terrorangreb med internationale tråde. Men hvem kan de efterhånden stole på? Og hvor, hvornår og hvordan vil det finde sted? I 2021 har Blake og Mortimer 75-års jubilæum, da serien blev skabt i 1946 af den legendariske belgiske, tegneserieskaber Edgar P. Jacobs med historien “Kampen om verdensherredømmet”. 50 år senere, i 1996, blev den ligeledes belgiske mesterforfatter Jean Van Hamme den første, der tog tråden op og skabte nye eventyr med Blake og Mortimer. Siden har en lang række andre forfattere og tegnere videreført serien, og nu, 25 år efter sit første manuskript, har Jean Van Hamme skrevet et nyt album, der både er selvstændigt, men også refererer til begivenheder som fortalt i blandt andre “Plutarchs stav”, “De Udødeliges Dal” og – naturligvis – “Kampen om verdensherredømmet”, som Jean Van Hamme læste for første gang i 1946, da han var syv år gammel. Blake og Mortimer har på dansk været udgivet siden 1978. Der findes indtil videre 28 album i serien foruden det ekstraorinære album “Den sidste farao”.
