Notre civilisation est au bord de l’autodestruction. Qui en est conscient ? Les actualités amènent les preuves de cette situation. Il suffit d’observer.

Devant le fait accompli, une panique générale naîtra, la Nature étouffera et la Terre tremblera ! À nos frontières, des centaines de millions de réfugiés climatiques pourriront. À l’intérieur...
Le mot « compétitivité » est au centre des préoccupations des entreprises et les valeurs humaines ont pratiquement disparu de l’échiquier d’un marché globalisé. L’incohérence réelle de la situation économique et sociétale actuelle amène nos vies respectives vers l’implosion à tous niveaux : du bas de la pyramide avec l’augmentation du « burn out » des employés jusqu’en haut de celle-ci avec les crises financières auxquelles notre histoire commence à s’accoutumer. Depuis quelques années, le nirvana du système économique libéral est atteint : les travailleurs et consommateurs travaillent plus pour consommer plus, ils désirent plus pour acquérir plus, ils ...
Paladin is the conclusion of The Interregnum Series (Book 7), continuing its account of Hibernia's royalty from 1473 to date. After being discharged, half-burned and lacking memories, Lilian Morgan emerges at the Dublin City Dump. She knows only that she must keep the repentant Cain (Samadeya) on task with his millennia-old assignment of thwarting the enemy Pelik--alternate and unrepentant continuation of Cain--in his agenda of death and destruction. Discipline is swift and brutal when she departs from the mission. Lilian also shares one of the Cain curses: returning after death to some reorganised portion of her body. Paladin also completes The Throne Series (Book 4), re-telling in interleaved chapters the First Battle of Glenmorgan and the destruction of Manse Devereaux. Interregnum characters approach a new battle at Glenmorgan that will decide the outcome of Tara's civil war. Conflict and treachery at Tara threaten one Earth civilization with extinction. Pelik schemes for power over two other worlds...and springs a trap.
Mara Meathe's engagement is the first domino in a string of events leading to her disgrace at court, her defection to the clan MacCarthy, the unravelling of the MacCarthy plot to destroy Tara, and her discovery of the truth about her father's death. Elbon, known as The Builder on Meta, but as John Dominic on Tirdia, relocates to the Earth generated in the latest nexus, but it becomes lost in the Timestream. Roger Hyland, the engineer responsible for rebuilding modern Tara rejects spiritual realities, despite his friends' earnest pleas. From Metan Manuscripts, the initial three critical historical nexus points are revealed, as are details of the first Builder and his age-old nemesis who plots time and again to either rule the earths...or destroy them.
