La conclusion étonnante d'une trilogie épique, que la littérature pour enfants appelle et ; une aventure de science-fiction stimulante avec un attrait universel
Dans ce livre final et le plus ambitieux dans une trilogie de science-fiction merveilleusement inventive, les voyageurs interplanétaires vétérans Jamie et Ramsay doivent protéger leur ami extraterrestre Wishaway, vivant maintenant avec eux sur Terre, de l'examen minutieux des forces sinistres sur leur propre planète. En attendant, la planète natale bien-aimée d'Altair de Wishaway semble se précipiter vers le destin. Juste au moment où les circonstances sur les deux mondes sont à leur plus terrible, les membres de la race ancienne qui ont construit les phares mystérieux reviennent pour offrir à Jamie un choix terrible : il peut sauver la Terre ou Altair, mais pas les deux. Le destin de deux planètes est entre les mains de l'adolescent Lord Ui Neill. Quelle maison va-t-il sauver ? Lui ou Wishaway&;s?
Les mondes que les personnages d'Adrian McKinty habitent sont vivement réels. Ce troisième livre sera le succès dormeur de la saison d'automne.

Hardback. Etat : Good. The stunning conclusion to an epic trilogy, which Children?s Literature calls ?a thought-provoking sci-fi adventure with universal appeal? In this final and most ambitious book in a wonderfully inventive sci-fi trilogy, veteran interplanetary travelers Jamie and Ramsay must protect their alien friend Wishaway, now living with them on Earth, from the scrutiny of sinister forces on their own planet. In the meantime, Wishaway?s beloved home planet of Altair seems to be hurtling toward doom. Just when circumstances on both worlds are at their most dire, members of the ancient race who built the mysterious lighthouses return to offer Jamie a terrible choice: He can save Earth or Altair, but not both. The fate of two planets is in the hands of the teenage Lord Ui Neill. Which home will he save? His or Wishaway?s? The worlds that Adrian McKinty?s characters inhabit are vividly real. This third book will be the sleeper hit of the fall season.
