[Alb1 · Rating 3 out of 5]

Combat quelque peu philosophique de l’être humain durant une invasion d’extraterrestre sous forme d’enfant aux yeux d’or.

Pas l’histoire que j’ai le plus kiffé et dont j’espérais grand chose, mais on ne peut passer à côté de l’écriture de son auteur pour le coup vraiment très agréable à lire qui donnait une dimension différente à ce livre.
