Paul III of Montréal [Paperback]

Christian-Eric Falardeau (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: July 6, 2006

Humans need a way to measure themselves to their peers. After physical strength, the aristocracy, the bourgeoisie and the Medias, at last appears an objective mean of determining the leaders: the Game, a three-dimensional descendant of chess. This is the story of Paul Herbert, a young man of great talent--if not genius--and his journey to the top of a declining society, hailed as a Saviour by the restless population.

About the Author

Christian-Eric Falardeau was born in 1968, on a little farm near the village of Beaudry, now part of Rouyn-Noranda, in Abitibi-Temiscamingue (north-west of Quebec). He was raised amidst cows and some of them might have influenced several of his characters. He also has two brothers and three sisters. In 1990, he graduated from Sherbrooke University with a degree in computer science, embarked on a career as a programmer analyst and, later on, became a software development manager. He retired from the industry in March 2002.

He wrote his first novel in 1993 (Saint-Jolivet of Pendleton) quickly followed by a second one (Paul III of Montreal) before slowing down to accommodate the demands of a busy profession. Writing on and off over the next few years, he came back to literature on a more serious level in 2001 with the completion of his third novel (Caroline) and various short stories.

Now a full-time writer, many new novels and short stories can be expected in the coming months and years.
