Une arme qui pourrait changer la destinée de l'humanité excite toutes les convoitises.

Critical Acclaim
— New York Times“Rollins’s roguish charm comes from his efforts to persuade readers the story is credible [through] real-life sources for his novel’s science, history and geography.”
— Huffington Post“After Crichton passed away in 2008 he clearly passed the baton to James Rollins, who like Crichton, is a renaissance man.”
— Mark Sullivan, New York Journal of Books“If you’re a fan of smart, entertaining adventure fiction, this is your summer beach read writ large. . . .All the science, all the history, and all the locations are masterfully intertwined. The characters are multi- dimensional. And the story is, well, a corker.”
— Library Journal [Starred Review]“Rollins has done it again. Real history and science play a key role in all of the action, which never wanes…Definitely keep an eye out for this one.”
— Alan Cheuse, NPR“Adventurous and enormously engrossing…”
— Amy Lignor, Suspense Magazin“The world is ending. And even though many have written about this fact, Rollins never stoops to stereotypical plots. With this, he provides the ultimate story.…[He] describes ancient times and connects them with present day so well that it’s a truly fascinating read that will hold the attention of any mystery/thriller fan. Carefully researched, the characters both old and new literally come to life—offering an ending that is truly a surprise.”
