des nouvelles de Jack McDevitt

[jerome]

Jack McDevitt a dévoilé un peu l'intrigue de son prochain roman :
Seeker (nominé pour le Nebula). Pour mémoire, plusieurs de ses romans ont été traduit en France : Anciens rivages, Chindi, Deepsix, Les Machines de Dieu, Oméga...

Il s'agit des aventures d'un antiquaire interstellaire.

"He is especially interested in those that have a specific historical connection, like the 9,000-year-old cup that is not only from a very early starship, but from a celebrated one. He's assisted by Chase Kolpath, an attractive and talented young woman who pilots his company's interstellar [ship], the Belle Marie, and also serves as a kind of [Dr.] Watson."

"When Benedict acquires that 9,000-year-old cup, he suspects that someone has discovered a long-lost ship known as the Seeker, McDevitt said. "In the early years of starflight, thousands of people fled deteriorating conditions on Earth for a better place," he said. "They traveled in the Breverhaven and the Seeker. Their intention: They were going to a world they called Margolia, [which was] 'so far away that not even God' could find them. Neither the ships nor any of the refugees were ever heard from again. And Margolia became an interstellar-age [legend, like] Atlantis." "

moi qui croyait que son prochain roman état Cauldron.

Seeker est le troisième volume des aventures de Dirk Benedict, après A talent for war (plutôt branché militariste) et Polaris, (plus Locked room mystery dans l'espace)




(Ace, 2006, couverture de John Harris)

moi qui croyait que son prochain roman état Cauldron.

Pareil pour moi.
D'ailleurs depuis Seeker (sorti en 2005) il y a eu Odyssey (2006) dans la série de l'Académie (les machines de Dieu, etc.).
Bref ce n'est pas vraiment son prochain bouquin, ni même son dernier en date.

cf par là entre autres

Tiens justement, je remonte ce vieux fil pour annoncer la sortie mardi en anglais de Cauldron justement de Jack McDevitt

Le synopsis :

Book Description
The year is 2255. The academy that trained the starfarers is long gone and veteran star pilot Priscilla "Hutch" Hutchins spends her retirement supporting fund-raising efforts for The Prometheus Foundation, a privately funded organization devoted to deep space exploration.

But when a young physicist unveils an efficient star drive capable of reaching the core of the galaxy, Hutch finds herself back in the deepest reaches of space, and on the verge of discovering the origins of the deadly Omega clouds that continue to haunt her.
