Nouveau regne: Tome 1

Mathieu Lasbats, a business lawyer based in Marseille, co-writes this narrative with his son Hugo, a commerce student. The story centers on Professor Arthur MacLane, who has made one of the greatest scientific discoveries in history. His theory challenges Darwinian evolution by suggesting species can appear suddenly and unpredictably rather than evolving slowly over centuries. This concept introduces a new species that could supplant humanity at the top of the food chain. MacLane finds himself isolated in a remote Alaskan village, surrounded by cold and darkness. As the polar night begins, he realizes his discovery may seal the fate of humankind. The narrative focuses on his struggle to survive against this imminent threat. Lasbats brings a contemporary sensibility to the tale, while Hugo contributes an innovative vision. Their collaboration creates an immersive account of scientific hubris meeting primal fear. This book suits readers interested in speculative biology and claustrophobic survival tales. It draws on the tradition of cosmic horror where human insignificance is highlighted by superior forces. Those seeking lighthearted adventure or historical romance will find little appeal here. The text remains grounded in the immediate physical danger faced by its protagonist.
