Deuxième tome de la trilogie Troisième humanité par Bernard Werber.
Un groupe de scientifiques a créé une espèce d'humains ovipares de 17cm de
haut, modelée sur les fourmis ; la plupart sont femelles. Ces créatures sont
louées pour des tâches difficiles ou dangereuses, mais ne sont pas condidérées
comme humaines par la plupart des gens. Lorsqu'une partie d'entre elles décide
de s'échapper par la violence et de vivre indépendamment, elles sont
pourchassées et recapturées. Les scientifiques forcent alors l'ONU à
reconnaître leur humanité et à leur donner une île quasi-inhabitée de l'océan
Atlantique pour pays. Avec l'aide de certaines micro-humaines, les
scientifiques partent alors explorer une fosse sous-marine où ils trouvent les
traces de l'Atlantide, qui était peuplée d'humains de 17m de haut, les
créateurs des humains actuels.

Denny est un condamné à mort. Terry, membre d'une agence mystérieuse du
gouvernement américain, le fait sortir de prison pour utiliser son don
secret de télépathie dans une affaire diplomatique aux Nations Unies. Lisant
dans l'esprit de son gardien que Terry compte l'éliminer une fois sa tâche
accomplie, Denny s'échappe. Terry envoie à ses trousses Snowe, un flic qui
s'est récemment découvert un don de télépathie et qui a immédiatement été
repéré par les énormes moyens de surveillance de l'agence. Snowe retrouve
Denny plus rapidement qu'escompté par Terry et les deux hommes s'enfuient
ensemble. Lisant dans les pensées l'un de l'autre, ils ne peuvent rien se
cacher; ils se découvrent une expérience passée commune (entraînés à se
saoûler sur une base militaire en Alaska et se réveillant sans se souvenir de
ce qui s'est passé), et en déduisent qu'elle a à voir avec leur don de
télépathie. Partant du seul indice qu'ils ont de cette expérience, ils
retrouvent le frère de celui qui les a saoûlés qui leur révèle que son frère
est mort et qu'à sa connaissance une centaine de personnes ont été
transformées en télépathes. Peu après, ils sont retrouvés par Terry; Denny est
tué mais Snowe tue Terry avant de disparaître en s'engageant sur un cargo.

Ethan of Athos has been published in 1986 by Lois McMaster Bujold.
Athos is a planet inhabited exclusively by human males, where children are
bred in uterine replicators from ovarian cultures brought by the founders of
the society. Since the ovarian cultures are reaching the end of their life,
new cultures have been bought from Jackson's Whole. But when the shipment
arrives full of dead meat, Ethan is sent to Kline Station to buy new cultures
from more reliable sources. He meets Elli Quinn, and is soon after kidnapped
and interrogated by a Cetagandan spy who assumes he knows where the cultures
are and that he's in league with some Terrence Cee. Elli saves Ethan from the
Cetagandan, because she's also somehow involed. Ethan is eventually contacted
by Terrence, who explains that he is the result of a genetic experiment
conducted by the Cetagandans on telepathy. After his telepath girlfriend (and
the only other individual of their species) was killed, he went to Jackson's
Whole with all the lab's ovarian culture to get her reconstructed from a
cellular sample. Since this was not possible, Terrence got the cultures sent
to Athos, where his species would be able to live quietly; the laboratory was
soon after destroyed by Cetagandan agents. Elli and Ethan don't understand who
replace he shipment with worhthless material. On Kline Station, Elli, Ethan
and Terrence are trying to debunk the Cetagandans; they eventually succeed by
accusing them to carry a deadly virus and get them caught by the Biocontrol
services. Mentioning Athos during the arrest, they understand that one of the
Biocontrol agents who hates Athos replaced the shipment during its transit on
Kline staion. The Cetagandans are eventually killed by agents from Jackson's
Whole. The original ovarian cultures are found again and taken to Athos along
with newly purchased ones. Terrence emigrates to Athos as well.

a scavenger waiting for her parents to return, and the droid BB-8, both chased
by the First Order who wants to recovert the map, hidden in BB-8, indicatig
the location of Skywalker. They escape the planet aboard the now abandonned
Millenium Falcon and are caught by Han Solo, who barely escapes his creditors
aboard the Falcon. Attempting to join the Resistance, they seek Maz Kanata's
help. There, Rey finds in a basement Skywalker's lightsaber and discovers the
Force is in her. At the same time, the First Order use their new weapon to
destroy the Republic's capital. Han, Rey and Finn are attacked by the First
Order and saved by the Resistance, but Rey is taken by Kylo Ren to the Order's
base. Solo and Finn go to her rescue, and Solo is killed by Kylo Ren (his and
Leia's son, turned to the dark side). Finn and Rey manage to sabotage the
weapon; Rey then fights Kylo Ren on the surface of the planet, but are
eventually separated. In the end, Rey finds Skywalker thanks to the map and
returns his lightsaber.

César publie sa Guerre des Gaules. Promoplus lui conseille de supprimer le
chapitre concernant sa défaite face au village des irréductibles Gaulois. Le
chapitre est cependant volé et se retrouve entre les mains des Gaulois.
Poursuivis par Promoplus et les romains, Astérix, Obélix et Panoramix se
rendent dans la forêt des Carnutes pour faire mémoriser ledit chapitre par le
druide qui sert de mémoire à la tradition orale des Gaulois. Le papyrus est
finalement rendu à César qui vient arrêter Promoplus.
