Edward

's army by Christophe Agnus, published on February 10, 2022 by Éditions Robert Laffont

His favorite quote:

“Nineteen people who do not know each other but all found, when they woke up, a document presenting their companions.

And who now know that one thing in common unites them: they all have an irresistible love of power and money, and have sacrificed everything to these cults, even – and above all – the others.

Why this book?

  • Because, if you have things planned on the agenda

    or if you want to sleep a full night, I invite you not to open this book!

    Be careful, not because you don't like it.

    Quite the contrary!

    And if you don't follow my advice, know that it will be very difficult for you to put it down afterwards.

  • Because written with a very visual style, you'll feel

    like you're immersed in a thriller movie or series.

    You know, the one whose episodes you devour, one after the other, when it's already late and you have to get up early the next day.

    The binge-watching transposed in the book here!

  • Because even if it's fiction, this thriller leads to reflection,

    without us necessarily realizing it at first glance.

    At a time when technologies guide our daily lives, what would happen if they were used for the worst purposes?

  • Because in terms of originality, we are at a very high level.

    Through more than 500 pages, the author has gone into the smallest details so that nothing is left to chance.

    The twists are numerous and attract even more the attention of the reader who finds himself recruited in the story, in the absence of the army.

The essentials in 2 minutes

The plot.

This thriller recounts an unprecedented manhunt like the world has never known.

Twenty high-ranking personalities disappear in less than two, under the eyes of many flabbergasted witnesses, in spectacular kidnappings.

Why were they removed?

By who ?

What do their captors want?

Characters.

The kidnappers and their victims: a blogger, a Russian oligarch, an Italian mobster, politicians, CEOs of companies and even a President of the United States.

And the main character, Omen, is a sort of modern-day Nemo whose anagram he bears.

Places.

The whole world.

The time.

Contemporary.

The author.

First writer, Christophe Agnus was previously a great reporter, pioneer of the French Internet and leader of media groups.

This book has been read with

frenzy.

This is the kind of entertaining and adventurous book that I love.

Why ?

Quite simply because it makes you forget everything, your daily life, your tasks, your appointments, everything you should normally do if you are not adept at procrastination.
