An adventure novel and a love story against the backdrop of an ecological crisis
Climax by *Thomas B Reverdy
The Flammarion editor’s point of view
It’s not really a city, more a kind of fishing village with one-story houses, nestled in the hollow of an arm of the sea that sinks like a tongue, in the far north of Norway. This is where it all begins, or rather where it all seems to end. It started with theaccident on the oil rig, across the channel. It continued with this crack which dangerously threatens the glacier, these fish that have been found dead.
What if it was related?
It is as a geological engineer that Noah, a local child, will return and find Anå, his childhood sweetheart, as well as the old friends he had introduced to role-playing games. He was then Sigurd, precisely named after this accursed platform.
With Climax, Thomas B. Reverdy wake up adventure novel by giving it a twilight and contemporary dimension, since now glaciers are melting, bears are dying and man has damaged everything beyond repair. At least, there remains fiction to tell this last adventure, that of the end of a world.
