J'ai bien aimé l'histoire qui se rapproche beaucoup à Stars War. C'est une brique de 470 pages qui raconte l'histoire d'humain qui ont été envahi par des extraterrestre et ont quitté la terre pour se retrouver sur une planète qui lui ressemble. De là il seront à nouveau envahi mais cette ils auront de l'aide de l'esprit de la planète elle même. Du science fiction avec une touche de fantastique. L'auteur écrit chacun de ses chapitre sur un personnage ce que j'ai particulièrement apprécié.Le rythme est maintenue du début à la fin. Ce livre est le premier tome de la série qui se nomme " LE FEU DE L'HUMANITÉ " et l'introduction de la série.

Biographie
Michael Cobley, born on 10 October 1959, is a science fiction and fantasy author born in Leicester, England but living since the age of seven in Glasgow, Scotland.
Michael Cobley was born in Leicester but moved to Glasgow at the age of seven.
While studying engineering at the University of Strathclyde, he used to work as a DJ; at the same time, he wrote rants for the University paper under the pen-name of Phaedrus.
He has published five novels, a collection of short stories and several reviews and essays.
He has a strong interest in politics.
Cobley, who is a member of the Glasgow Science Fiction Writers Circle, admits to have been influenced by diverse writers such as Frank Herbert, David Brin, Iain Banks, Ken MacLeod and Vernor Vinge, but also by music (Dmitri Shostakovich, Yes, Blue Öyster Cult, Emerson, Lake & Palmer and Monster Magnet) and TV shows (Firefly, Babylon 5, the most recent series of Battlestar Galactica).
Cobley published his first novel, Shadowkings, in 2001 for Earthlight, a now-defunct imprint of Simon & Schuster. This was followed by Shadowgod and Shadowmasque, that was nominated by the British Fantasy Society for the best novel of the year award won that year by Neil Gaiman's Anansi Boys to complete the so-called "Shadowkings Trilogy". The trilogy was also published in Germany by Heyne (a division of Random House), all its volumes translated by Wolfgang Thon.
Michael Cobley followed up on the success of his first space opera trilogy planning a second one entitled "Humanity's Fire". The first volume, Seeds of Earth, was published in 2009 by Orbit Books. It was followed in 2010 by The Orphaned Worlds. The third and last volume of the series will be called The Ascendant Stars and has been announced for 2011. Like the previous trilogy, the first book in the "Humanity's Fire" series has been published in German by Heyne, translated by Norbert Stöbe, while the release of the second has been announced.
His short stories have been collected in a volume, Iron Mosaic, published in 2004 by Immanion Press.
