Ranging from pure science fiction to space opera and fantasy, Julia Verlanger’s bitterly beautiful novels rank among the best works from France’s «Anticipation» brand of fantastic fiction that emerged after World War II.
Verlanger creates fascinating post-apocalyptic worlds and depicts lands ravaged by bacteriological warfare – strangely evocative of Mad Max – as well as space operas dramatizing mankind’s expansion into the cosmos and developing themes as old as the myths of Antiquity. In all her universes, she offers a subtle mix of extrapolation and fantasy, teeming with brilliant ideas and breathtaking adventures.
Whatever the subject, her narrative style is impeccable and finely wrought with strong and powerful imagery.

‘A must-have for all SF fans’
