Synopsis

Two men. A road leading north. A machine buried for five thousand years.

Marco and Guy Dubois aren't adventurers. They're mechanics - men who understand systems, engines, and balance. But what's waiting for them in Orkney doesn't belong to any mechanism they've ever worked on.

Summoned by Léa, an archaeologist tied to a discreet network of observers, they leave the garage behind and ride north, all the way to the edge of Scotland. Beneath the ancient Maeshowe burial mound, something has gone wrong.

The instruments drift. The clocks fall out of sync. Time itself seems to be losing its grip.

What generations mistook for a tomb is, in truth, something else entirely: a cyclical machine built to hold the eras apart - to keep them from bleeding into one another. And it's failing.

As Marco and Guy get closer, the signs multiply: strangers who already know where they're headed, distortions too precise to be imagined, and the growing, undeniable sense of being watched. Not by anyone living. By the place itself.

Inside the stone corridors of Maeshowe, past and present start to overlap. And the Dubois brothers arrive at a truth as simple as it is terrifying:

They are not the first to try to repair the machine. And some of the ones who tried never came back out.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Guy Quinet n'écrit pas des romans d'aventure. Il écrit des romans sur ce qui se passe quand deux hommes ordinaires tombent sur quelque chose d'extraordinaire - et décident, malgré tout, de ne pas rebrousser chemin.

À travers la série Les Dubois, il explore les angles morts de l'Europe contemporaine: les lieux oubliés, les infrastructures que personne ne regarde, les systèmes que tout le monde utilise sans comprendre. Marco et Guy Dubois ne sont ni des héros ni des experts. Ils sont curieux. Obstinés. Et rarement au bon endroit au bon moment.

Quand il n'écrit pas, Guy Quinet continue de nourrir la même fascination pour les mécaniques invisibles du monde - celles qui font tourner les villes, les réseaux et les hommes, souvent sans que personne ne s'en aperçoive.
