Le satellite fantôme, la guerre pour l'espace, tome 3

Extrait 1 : "Achille-1 tournoyait dans l’espace, à une altitude qu’ils étaient seuls à connaître. Le petit satellite avait deux atouts majeurs. Le premier tenait au mode de propulsion choisie. Son moteur, alimenté en énergie par un générateur au plutonium enrichi, lui donnait une puissance quasiment illimitée. De plus, sa taille réduite, ainsi que certaines spécificités de sa coque le rendaient peu visible aux radars traditionnels."

Claude-Jean Siré nous propose ici le troisième volet de la saga "La guerre de l'espace". Après :
1. Le regard de Kiren
2. La vengeance de Yiko
un nouvel épisode de la guerre sans merci qui déchire le monde de l'espace.

L'auteur a également publié chez Amazon/kindle en 8 tomes, "La guerre sous-marines", une première série de techno-thrillers mettant en évidence ce que l'affaire PRISM vient de révéler.

Tribute to Tom clancy / Hommage



I must say that reading his latest book: "Threat vector" is a pleasant surprise while I was disappointed by "Dead or alive". We find here again his  art of suspense ... What amuses me most is that his scenario is not very different from my new serie "La guerre pour l'espace" (translation to come), even if we approach things differently. 
It will probably inspire my part 4...
I must confess Tom has always been a master for me, and not only for "Noirmoutier's trap, submarine warfare, part 1".


Hommage à Tom Clancy
Je dois dire que la lecture de son dernier livre : "Threat vector" est à la fois une bonne surprise alors que j'avais été déçu par "Dead or alive". On retrouve l'art du suspense... Ce qui m'amuse le plus, c'est que son scénario n'est pas très différent de ma nouvelle série "Guerre pour l'espace", même si nous abordons les choses différemment.
Cela va probablement m'inspirer un tome 4 :-)

Noirmoutier's trap - Submarine Warfare part 1

Revised edition on line :
"Early November in Brest. The west wind swept the harbour, gusting and giving the rain an angle of about 15 degrees. Choo stood motionless behind the restaurant’s window. He looked at his watch. 1:15. By this time, he was sure to find little resistance. But he could not risk a second try. He strained his hood strap and left. Beyond the light of the street lamps, the darkness was complete. His car, a Hyundai, stolen in Rennes the day before and with carefully masked plate was parked 500 meters away, not far from the diving club. He opened the trunk, grabbed a crowbar and watched the street. By this time and weather, there was no one around. Yet he did not want to take any risks. He jumped over the low wall, circled the building and forced the door. It did not resist him long. With the small torch he had on him, he easily spotted the equipment he needed. It took him two trips to the car. He slid the key in the ignition slot and returned in the club. Using a screwdriver, he unscrewed the switch, put the two wires in contact, then screwed it back. Then he opened the two oxygen bottles, releasing the odourless, but highly flammable gas. Tomorrow, the club’s monitor would certainly turn the light on and destroy all traces of his passage..."
