I was not very French author before discovering this author, but "Warriors of silence" was for me one of my greatest shock because I was not expecting much, and it was quite a slap. Planking has an imagination that rivals the best Anglo-Saxon authors. He has an ability to create worlds as wonderful as fascinating. But it is also very hard to create a believable universe. Political and religious. Its main character, Tixu is an anti-hero who becomes a reluctant hero. It follows its metamorphosis over the pages, during his travels from planet to planet. A book that has a torrid pace. A must read.
