5.0 out of 5 stars Make me dream..., June 11, 2000

Alexandra (paris) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The immortals (Hardcover)

I'm a great fan of the X-Files and I can say that with Barjavel's books, especially "The immortals" and "The ice people" I feel I find again the same things. I dream, in few words. I'm French and I have read all Barjavel's books, and I can say now: happy to be French! I wish people from other countries can have the chance to read his books...

4.0 out of 5 stars One of barjavel's best novel, December 12, 1997

This review is from: The immortals (Hardcover)

I have read this book in french and in english and it is a piece of art for sure. Barjavel should be as known as any other writter, because he is a poet. The story of the Immortals is divided into three parts : first the true love of the heroes, then the quest and at the end the explaination of all the mistery. You would then understand the death of JFK, and why does Elisabeth II always carry a bag with her.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing politic/fiction. What the X-Files should have been., December 31, 1997

By

This review is from: The immortals (Hardcover)

This book is a masterpiece of politic/fiction. Barjavel shows amazing mastery and errudition in creating an incredible fiction that happens to fit all the major events in the world during the cold war. Page after page, you wonder if this did not actually happen for real. This could be the base for an amazing movie! If only the makers of the X-Files were a little bit more learned.
If you can't find this book in English, go learn French and get it in French. By the same token, you can also read all his other books. Always first rate Sci/Fi with a definite French romanticism twist each time.
