CIA Agent Daniel Winters is having a bad day. Scratch that. A bad week. After being questioned by Internal Affairs-and hesitantly cleared-he's on his way to Paraguay. New day. New mission. Another chance for answers. Instead, he only finds more questions, more suspicious behaviors from supposed allies, and more reasons to trust no one. To make matters worse, the aliens make their first move. Add some witches to the mix, because why make things easy? Daniel has his work cut out for him.But that's okay. He's got his wits and a Lara bar. What (else) could go wrong?

It's 2788 and only the handicapped live on Earth. Eighteen-year-old Jarra is among the one in a thousand people born with an immune system that cannot survive on other planets. Sent to Earth at birth to save her life, she has been abandoned by her parents. She can't travel to other worlds, but she can watch their vids, and she knows all the jokes they make.

Eighteen-year-old Jarra has a lot to prove. After being awarded one of the military's highest honors for her role in a daring rescue attempt, she finds herself-and her Ape status-in the spotlight. Jarra is one of the unlucky few born with an immune system that cannot survive on other planets. Derided as an "ape"-a "throwback"-by the rest of the universe, she is on a mission to prove that Earth Girls are just as good as anyone else. Except now the planet she loves is under threat by what could be humanity's first-ever alien contact.

Jarra never wanted to be a celebrity. All she ever wanted was to gain some respect for the people left on Earth: the unlucky few whose immune system prevents them from portaling to other planets. Except now she's the most famous Earth girl in the universe-but not everyone in the universe is happy about it, nor the fact that she has found love with a norm. Jarra's actions have repercussions that spread further than she ever could have imagined, and political unrest threatens to tear apart the delicate balance of peace between humanity's worlds.

L'homme de Griffintown Tome 2 Le maître des circonstances (La suite de L'invité surprise du G7) Comment ne pas être effrayé par une voix qui vous menace chez vous ? Par un être surnaturel capable de projeter des objets et de vous frapper sans être vu… Quelquefois, il fallait tuer. Maquiller une mort en suicide ou en accident. Georges Delson le faisait pour la cause de ceux qui le couvraient d'or !

(Suite et fin de de la triologie L"homme de Griffintown) « La voix artificielle lança un nouvel appel de dissuasion à l'intention du terroriste qui venait d'apparaître complètement nu: « Libérez votre otage ou vous serez abattu dans soixante secondes. » La foule rassemblée à l'aéroport Washington-Dulles avait déjà été sommée de s'allonger ventre à terre et mains sur la nuque. Il ne faut jamais contrarier un robot tueur autonome... tout le monde sait ça ! »2036.
