Synopsis:
Good old Nick is ready to start delivering the Christmas presents. Or... almost done. Because just before he leaves, he discovers that his former workshop, at the North Pole on Earth, appears to be abused by criminals. A syndicate of dangerous career criminals uses Christmas gifts as a cover to deliver their illegal goods all over the world and beyond.

Those are surprises Nick can't appreciate. And certainly not allow. But, time is running out and he's on his own...

A(nother) Cosmic Christmas

Inspiration: 

As Santa and his helpers had moved to another planet (see book 1), I questioned myself what might have happened to his old Workshop on the North Pole?
As I was finishing a thriller story, I was "in the mood" to add a little crime into this episode of Santarctica. Enjoy another great Christmas Tale. Fun and exciting for the young ones and, as a matter of fact, fun for the old ones too!
