Les Futurs Mystères de Paris #5
Tekrock: Les Futurs mystères de Paris, T5
Mon nom est Temple Sacré de l’Aube Radieuse, mais vous pouvez m’appeler Tem. Pour cent euros par jour plus les frais, vous pouvez aussi louer mes services. Je suis détective privé. Mon atout majeur ? Le Talent de transparence qui me permet de passer inaperçu. Mais qui m’oblige aussi à des efforts vestimentaires pour ne pas passer inaperçu.
Paris, 2064. Comment les données sur Elvis Presley se sont-elles effacées du wèbe ?
Nous avons tous des trous de mémoire. Celui de Pépin de Pomme a englouti toute son existence d'avant la Terreur. Pour ne rien arranger, les neurones du bonhomme seraient « un peu trop bien triés », et un petit dragon vert lui pissait sur le pied quand il a pris conscience de son amnésie.
En quête de l'identité de cet étrange client, Tem va de découverte en étonnement, croisant des personnages improbables et décalés, mais c'est Gloria, sa fidèle aya, qui lui réserve la plus grande surprise.

About the author
Roland C. Wagner
88 books9 followersRoland Charles Wagner was a French writer of humorous science fiction. Since his professional debut in 1981, he had written around one hundred novellas and around fifty novels. He was the only writer to have received the Prix Rosny-Aîné six times, as well as many other awards.
Les Futurs Mystères de Paris ("The Future Mysteries of Paris") features a "transparent" (not exactly invisible) private detective. Starting with La Balle du néant ("The Bullet From Nowhere"), this cycle has nine titles (up to Mine de rien, 2006) inside a larger set, including Le Chant du cosmos ("The Song of the Cosmos"), a far-future tale which describes a mental game inspired by Go.
La Saison de la sorcière ("Season of the Witch", 2003) takes place in France with extremely high-level police security, which is invaded by the United States. The novel received the Bob Morane Prize and the Prix Rosny-Aîné in 2004. Le Temps du voyage ("Trip Time", 2005) is a space opera in the mood of Jack Vance.
He had also written an alternate history biography of H. P. Lovecraft under the title HPL (1890–1991) which has been translated in English, and several pastiches of famous science fiction authors. For example, his Three Laws of Robotic Sexuality parodies Isaac Asimov's robot stories.
He also wrote lyrics for rock bands, and was a member of the acid punk group Brain Damage, active since 1977.
Roland C. Wagner had written under multiple pseudonyms, including Richard Wolfram, Henriette de la Sarthe, Paul Geron, and Red Deff.
He was born in Bab El Oued, Algeria. He was killed in an automobile accident on August 5, 2012.
