The Return of Nathan Brazil

Well of Souls

The Dreel was a hive-mind, composed of trillions upon trillions of virus-sized units, which infected intelligent beings like a disease and took over the mind of an occupied being, utterly. It had occupied planets throughout the galaxy, making their entire population its mind-slaves, and was on its way to conquering the entire galaxy-until a cop on the frontier planet of Parkatin discovered the truth. Those whose minds were still free fought back, using a weapon so powerful that it wrought havoc with the control of the Well World, the ancient planet-sized supercomputer that a vanished super-race called the Markovians built to recreate the entire universe, and maintain it in its present form. If the Well World’s control of time and space could not be restored, the universe could vanish like a blown-out candle flame. Only a Markovian could go to the Well World and repair the damage, but only one Markovian was still known to survive. He had last been seen in human form, going by the name of Nathan Brazil. No one knew where he was now, what name he was using, or even if he still appeared human. Finding him, somewhere in the immensity of the galaxy, seemed an impossible task. So the task fell to someone who had done the impossible over and over: Mavra Chang, one of the few beings ever to escape from the Well World. And on that occasion, she had brought back with her a computer named Obie, who just might be the second most powerful computer in the universe, after the Well World itself. With those two on his trail, Nathan Brazil could run-but could he hide?

Twilight at the Well of Souls

Well of Souls

The rift in the fabric of space was fast approaching the Well World, and time was running out. Troops all over the planet were gathering for the final battle.

Nathan Brazil and Mavra Chang somehow had to reach the Well of Souls in time to save the universe and before any of the hostile natives managed to kill them.

At best, a difficult mission. At worst, impossible—especially since there was a price on Brazil’s head and many would-be claimants! For Brazil, the difficult was but the work of a moment—the impossible would take a little longer!

Jacques Chirac

Chaque pas doit être un but

Jacques Chirac ne parle pas facilement de lui-même. Pudique et secret, il se raconte ici pour la première fois. Dans un style vivant et direct, non dénué d’humour, il évoque ses origines familiales, sa jeunesse aventureuse et ses débuts en politique, depuis son élection en 1967 comme député de Corrèze, qui lui a permis de s’imposer très vite dans un milieu pour lequel il ne se sentait pas prédestiné.

Ce volume couvre les soixante-trois premières années de sa vie, jusqu’à son élection à la présidence de la République en 1995. On y voit naître et se former un homme politique hors normes et s’élaborer sa réflexion profondément marquée par les valeurs conjointes du radicalisme et du gaullisme.

Jacques Chirac revient sur ses relations privilégiées avec Georges Pompidou, ses rapports conflictuels avec Valéry Giscard d’Estaing, sa cohabitation à la fois orageuse et complice avec François Mitterrand, son affrontement avec Édouard Balladur. Il lève le voile sur les années de solitude qui, nonobstant les trahisons, l’ont conduit en 1995 à la tête de l’État. C’est avec la même franchise qu’il révèle ses échanges avec divers chefs d’État étrangers. Jacques Chirac consacre aussi une large place dans ce livre à ses souvenirs personnels, brossant un portrait intime et émouvant de ses parents, de son épouse Bernadette et de ses filles Laurence et Claude. Il nous fait entrer dans son « jardin secret » en expliquant les raisons de son goût pour l’Asie et les arts premiers, qui a largement fondé sa vision humaniste du monde et de l’Histoire.
