Marie Zorn must be accompanied from Kazakhstan to Montreal under top security conditions. Gorsky, a Siberian Mafioso, pays $100,000 dollars to ensure her safe arrival, and he himself gets a million dollars for organizing the operation. If all goes as planned, there will be dozens of transfers every year, and millions of dollars to be had.
But why would anyone pay so much for a young woman? She might know something. She might be someone important. She might also be pregnant with the ultimate biological weapon, a technohuman, a genetic hybrid of man and computer, loaded with a technovirus programmed to target human DNA. The fabulously wealthy leader of the Noelite cult is backing this mysterious project. Toroop, a mercenary, is chosen to accompany Marie, thanks to his combat experience in Central Asia.
No one, not even Marie, knows the valuable secret she is hiding, but everybody wants her and the creature inside of her. In the midst of biker gangs, the international mafia, and paramilitary organizations, a technopunk collective of scientists and artists from all over the world tries to reverse the game and turn a potentially disastrous situation into humanity’s salvation.
A brilliant tour-de-force from France’s greatest contemporary author of pop fiction.
