I loved this book. I just found Bernard Werber and I never tire of discovering it. I read the empire of the angels before thanathonautes and the only desire I have is to read them right away. We want to believe, and I see things differently now. Death frightens me less, it may sound crazy, but I find his view of things very credible. So one piece of advice: go ahead, make the trip to the continent from the dead, you will not be disappointed ....
