Si l'on nous donnait une nouvelle chance, qu'en ferions-nous?
Après avoir quitté une Terre mourante du fait des erreurs de nos sociétés, l'Arche, premier vaisseau à coloniser une exoplanète, arrive au bout d'un long voyage de 80 ans. Les colons sortent de leurs caissons cryogéniques et découvrent ce qui doit devenir un nouveau commencement pour l'humanité. Une nouvelle planète, un monde principalement végétal baptisé Eden.
Les surprises se cumulent vite : la surface abrite une espèce primitive mais intelligente, des ruines prouvent l'existence de civilisations passées avancées, le système climatique obéit à des règles très particulières. Mais malgré tout cela, la colonisation commence de manière somme toute très classique, avec les traditionnelles oppositions entre militaires, scientifiques, civils.
Mais tout change avec l'arrivée d'un nouveau joueur : un second vaisseau spatial arrive, quelques mois seulement après l'Arche. A son bord, des Terriens partis 60 ans plus tard, bénéficiant d'une technologie plus avancée, et eux même fortement modifiés génétiquement. Capables de se synchroniser et de communiquer télépathiquement entre eux, ils sont devenus une espèce fondamentalement collectiviste, que tout oppose aux traditionnels Terriens individualistes de l'Arche.
Les deux peuples essaient dans un premier temps de cohabiter et d'apprendre les uns des autres, mais les obstacles rencontrés, le passé de la planète qui s'avère beaucoup plus riche et mystérieux que prévu, vont rapidement augmenter les tensions. Eden représente-t-il un nouvel espoir, ou au contraire la fin d'une civilisation?
"Outsphere" est une saga de science-fiction, qui tout en développant un univers particulièrement fouillé, s'amuse à explorer des questions philosophiques liées d'un côté au transhumanisme, de l'autre aux oppositions entre pensées collectivistes et individualistes.
★★★★★
"Outsphère est un premier roman ambitieux de SF bourré de bonnes idées" - Sci-Fi Universe
★★★★★
"Il n’y a pas dans Outsphere de longueurs, de passages lents, de baisse d’intensité [...] Je recommande Outsphere à tous les amateurs de planet opera et de récits aventureux." - Les Carnets Dystopiques
★★★★★
"Les effets de surprises sont saisissants, à tel point qu’il faudrait être pris en photo pour voir nos têtes après certaines révélations. [...] Outsphere vous promet un voyage épique, dans un imaginaire pas aussi fictif qu’il n’y paraît." - The Renegades
"Synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
