Les hommes ont conquis l'univers, essaimé sur des mondes lointains. Certains, cependant, sont restés fidèles à la Terre et à ses villes, ultime refuge de cette planète qui, lentement, se meurt de la mort du soleil. Paris, peuplé d'êtres que leurs réincarnations sans fin ont rendus fatalistes et futiles, cité froide où pourtant un adolescent redécouvre l'amour, un sentiment tenu pour dangereux... Rome, écrasée sous le poids d'un passé glorieux et inutile, qui s'adonne aux rêves comme à une drogue : un jeu risqué car il arrive qu'on ne revienne pas du pays des songes... Pékin, trop longtemps jaloux de ses trésors et dont soudain des hordes barbares viennent battre les murailles. Et Londres, Moscou, New York...

Author · 94 books
Currently resident in Spokane, Washington, C.J. Cherryh has won four Hugos and is one of the best-selling and most critically acclaimed authors in the science fiction and fantasy field. She is the author of more than forty novels. Her hobbies include travel, photography, reef culture, Mariners baseball, and, a late passion, figure skating: she intends to compete in the adult USFSA track. She began with the modest ambition to learn to skate backwards and now is working on jumps. She sketches, occasionally, cooks fairly well, and hates house work; she loves the outdoors, animals wild and tame, is a hobbyist geologist, adores dinosaurs, and has academic specialties in Roman constitutional law and bronze age Greek ethnography. She has written science fiction since she was ten, spent ten years of her life teaching Latin and Ancient History on the high school level, before retiring to full time writing, and now does not have enough hours in the day to pursue all her interests. Her studies include planetary geology, weather systems, and natural and man-made catastrophes, civilizations, and cosmology…in fact, there's very little that doesn't interest her. A loom is gathering dust and needs rethreading, a wooden ship model awaits construction, and the cats demand their own time much more urgently. She works constantly, researches mostly on the internet, and has books stacked up and waiting to be written.
