As Niourk the same author, this book reads very quickly. The story, a bit dated nowadays stellar shipwrecked on an unknown planet is treated in a very vivid way. Stefan Wul still does not hesitate to create inextricable situations which he exits through twists often bordering on impossible, but it is a style that now belongs to him. But what really makes this book the strong holds in his very last words: the end of the book brings the twist that changes the whole perspective of the reader and invites us to reconsider the whole book. It is very strong !! If you want to read a new fast, easy to read and that the end justifies alone reading, read The Temple of the Past.
