Les Révoltés des deux mondes
Quand la quête révolutionnaire débouche sur une île maritime où les hommes vivent en harmonie avec un écosystème fascinant.
Deux planètes.
Sur Joao de Lis, sauvage et peu hospitalière, quelques humains ont appris à vivre en harmonie avec des écosystèmes étranges et d'immenses océans.
Sur GM24, surpeuplée et ravagée par la surexploitation des ressources et une industrialisation forcenée, une révolution a réussi, après des années de souffrances et de sacrifices, à renverser un pouvoir prédateur.
L'harmonie de la première est menacée.
La révolution de la seconde est fragile.
Sur l'une et l'autre, un petit groupe se lance dans une quête à haut risque.
Mais quel est le lien entre ces deux mondes apparemment si différents ? Une chose est sûre : c'est là que réside le secret de leur salut commun…

In a future where a suffocating corporate oligarchy violently clashes with a resistance yearning for a harmonious life with nature, Les Révoltés des Deux Mondes sets the stage for a major ideological confrontation. The narrative plunges us into the heart of this binary antagonism, where the survival of both planets seems to hang on a handful of insurgents. At the center of this political and technological chessboard emerges the mysterious figure of the Grace, an entity or person whose true identity constitutes one of the plot's major stakes. As repression rages and corporations extend their totalitarian grip, rebel factions attempt to organize a counter-offensive in an environment teetering between gritty cyberpunk and solarpunk utopias.
A Worldbuilding Sunk by Caricature and Manicheism
Crossing a subtle solarpunk/cyberpunk blend with a corporate dystopia within the same universe held stimulating ambitions. Yet, what should have been a sprawling futuristic fresco quickly transforms into a catalog of worn-out tropes. The depicted universe cruelly lacks credibility and depth, as the opposition between the factions tips into an almost grotesque caricature. On one side, we find nefarious fascist corporations eager to destroy even the slightest blade of grass to cement their domination (and build, heaven knows why, data centers everywhere).
A Disappointing Writing Style and Disembodied Figures
The verdict is just as bitter regarding the prose and the characters. Estelle Faye, whose writing has sometimes been praised for its sensitivity, delivers a text that is surprisingly poor and deceptive here. The writing suffers from embarrassing syntactic awkwardness (with deplorable faulty structures that instantly break the suspension of disbelief).
A Narrative Spark Just Barely Saved by Its Conclusion
While form and content disappoint, the plot nonetheless manages to maintain minimal interest to avoid total collapse. One might have feared the narrative would bog down in artificial and endless mysteries, particularly around the secret surrounding the Grace. Credit must be given to the author for not treating her reader like a fool: the revelation of this identity comes without dragging things out unnecessarily, thus sparing an annoying fake suspense. Although not much actually happens over the course of the book's two hundred and fifty pages, the pacing does not excessively rush its resolution. The conclusion proves honest and brings a coherent closure to a narrative arc that, without shining, at least has the merit of wrapping up its stakes methodically.
In Short...
Les Révoltés des Deux Mondes proves to be a cruel disappointment. Despite a promising premise at the crossroads of genres, the novel founders in heavy-handed manicheism, flawed writing, and dismally flat characters. What remains is a narrative progression that, by avoiding the unnecessary prolongation of its false mysteries, offers a decent ending to a story that cruelly lacked maturity and subtlety.
