Eruption - The Blockbuster Thriller of 2024

Le voyage à travers le temps appartenait à la science-fiction...
Va-t-il devenir, grâce aux dernières avancées de la science, une réalité ?
Située au beau milieu du désert de l'Arizona, ITC est une entreprise de technologie de pointe hautement mystérieuse. Sous la férule d'un scientifique aussi brillant que mégalomane, d'importantes recherches y sont menées dans le plus grand des secrets...
Mais pourquoi ITC s'intéresse-t-elle aux travaux de l'équipe d'historiens qui, loin de là, dans la vallée de la Dordogne, a entrepris, sous la direction du professeur Johnston de l'université de Yale, des fouilles autour d'un monastère du XIVe siècle ?
Pour éclaircir la question, Johnston se rend en Arizona.
Et disparaît...
Deux jours plus tard, en Dordogne, un parchemin vieux de six cent cinquante ans est mis au jour. Son message, " À l'aide ", est signé du professeur Johnston...
Après Jurassic Park, le nouveau thriller de Michael Crichton Prisonniers du temps figure sur la liste des meilleures ventes du New York Times depuis sa sortie, et sera prochainement porté à l'écran.

Prisonniers du temps

Bien avant Jurassic Park, le jeune Michael Crichton, étudiant à Harvard, écrivait des romans pulp sous le nom de plume de John Lang...

Jeune radiologue américain, Peter Ross aspirait simplement à passer de bonnes vacances sur la Costa Brava quand il rencontre Angela Locke sur la plage. Il devient aussitôt devenu la cible de gangs rivaux à la recherche d'un précieux artéfact.
De Barcelone aux rues de Paris, des tours de l'Alhambra aux catacombes, Peter Ross, cet homme ordinaire, surnage dans une situation des plus désespérées. S'il ne découvre pas au plus vite un secret enfoui depuis des siècles, il risque bien d'y passer.

Zéro cool

Avec une cité légendaire au cœur du Congo, une poignée de diamants, un commando armé de caméras et de lasers, un singe qui « parle », des satellites et des ordinateurs, Michael Crichton réussit le mariage de la technologie et de l'aventure, du merveilleux industriel et de la bonne vieille terreur.Raphaël SorinLe Monde

Congo

Deep in the African rain forest, near the legendary ruins of the Lost City of Zinj, an expedition of eight American geologists is mysteriously and brutally killed in a matter of minutes.Ten thousand miles away, Karen Ross, the Congo Project Supervisor, watches a gruesome video transmission of the aftermath: a camp destroyed, tents crushed and torn, equipment scattered in the mud alongside dead bodies — all motionless except for one moving image — a grainy, dark, man-shaped blur.In San Francisco, primatologist Peter Elliot works with Amy, a gorilla with an extraordinary vocabulary of 620 “signs,” the most ever learned by a primate, and she likes to fingerpaint. But recently, her behavior has been erratic and her drawings match, with stunning accuracy, the brittle pages of a Portuguese print dating back to 1642 . . . a drawing of an ancient lost city. A new expedition — along with Amy — is sent into the Congo where they enter a secret world, and the only way out may be through a horrifying death …source: michaelcrichton.com

L'homme terminal

A group of American scientists are rushed to a huge vessel that has been discovered resting on the ocean floor in the middle of the South Pacific. What they find defies their imaginations and mocks their attempts at logical explanation. It is a spaceship of phenomenal dimensions, apparently, undamaged by its fall from the sky. And, most startling, it appears to be at least three hundred years old...."The suspense is real."THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW"A page-turner...Chichton's writing is cinematic, with powerful visual images and nonstop action. This book should come with hot buttered popcorn."NEWSWEEK
