A wide-screen adventure of death and robots on a violent frontier world.
Philip Palmer Livres
Cet auteur a commencé à écrire à quatorze ans, ses premières nouvelles laissant déjà entrevoir un amour pour le mélange des genres. Après avoir déménagé à Londres après l'université, il a combiné l'écriture avec la lecture de scénarios pour des théâtres et des sociétés de cinéma, développant de solides compétences narratives en tant que scénariste et éditeur de télévision. Désormais, il rédige de grands romans épiques qui puisent dans ses expériences de vie et dans son propre être. Bien que son œuvre puisse changer de genre, elle offre constamment humour, mystère et danger, peuplée d'un casting de personnages excentriques et inoubliables, dont certains ne sont peut-être pas de ce monde.

Professor Richard Helms heads up a tight-knit band of scientists and soldiers sent to explore New Amazon, a lush but savage planet seemingly determined to attack them at every turn. When they are done cataloguing every detail of this vast, unfamiliar ecosystem, they will burn it to the ground and make it fit for human habitation. But when the team falls under attack, Helms and his followers are forced to flee into the depths of the jungle. Here, old enemies and petty rivalries surface as they struggle to survive. They soon end up fighting for their lives - against the planet they are exploring, the robots designed to protect them and, most of all, against each other. For the countdown into madness is ticking. Palmer burns a new path for science fiction in this gripping, dark tale of man's place in the universe.

Only, Lena isn't the Cheo's daughter and the plan is far from simple. Fortunately, Flanagan has had a lifetime to work it out.
