Une pandemie laisse tres peu d'Humains survivre. A-t-elle ete volontairement declenchee ? Un survivant, Loic a des raisons de le croire. L'enquete doit etre menee, car si c'est vrai,"l'Ange de la mort" a surement delivre l'antidote a certains. Si ces derniers sont complices, comment tolerer qu'ils vivent dans l'impunite aux cotes des innocents ? Et s'il s'agit de groupes entiers, comment accepter qu'ils repeuplent la Terre dont ils ont fait un immense cimetiere ? Pendant ce temps la vie s'organise: des communautes se forment. Mais les gens marchent aussi vers la ville par milliers. Des chefs surgissent, des petits dictateurs s'imposent, des milices quadrillent et embrigadent, surfant sur la servilite volontaire. Comment enrayer l' inexorable prise en masse qui conduirait a la repetition d'une histoire humaine souvent absurde ? Le roman, qui reprend les lignes generales du probleme classique du "post-apo" (comme "The Stand" de Stephen King) suit les destinees finalement croisees d'une dizaine de survivants d'ages et de caracteres tres differents. Il est construit, en un tissage progressif de leurs vies et de leurs actions, sur l'entrelacs d'une quete de verite, d'une poursuite de criminels hors normes et d'un conte politique et dystopique. Nous sommes suspendus a une question essentielle: le monde qui renait pourra-t-il ou non s'orienter dans une direction inedite ? Celle de la liberte preferee au pouvoir ? This pandemic allows only a few humans to survive.Has it been deliberately unleashed? A survivor, Loic, has many reasons to believe that. An investigation must be conducted, because if it's true, the "Angel of Death" has certainly delivered the antidote to some of his friends. If they are his accomplices, how can we tolerate thant they live with impunity alongside innocents? And if they are whole groups, how can we accept that they repopulate the Earth they made a huge cemetery? Meanwhile, life, again, is getting organized: communities are formed. But people also walk to cities by the thousands. Heads arise, small dictators obtrude necessarily, militias surround people and suck them in, surfing on voluntary servility. How to stop the inexorable caking which would lead to the repetition of an often absurd human history? The novel, which incorporates the general lines of the classic problem of "post-apo" (like "The Stand" by Stephen King) follows the destinies crossed by a dozen survivors of very different ages and characters. It is built on a progressive weaving of their lives and their actions, on the intertwining of a search for truth, a pursuit of monstrous criminals and an political and dystopian tale. We're hanging on a key issue: is the renascent world will -or not- move in a quite new way? That of freedom preferred to power?"
