et qu'elle est tenue par des personnes à l'allure étrange. Quand nos mères disparaissent mystérieusement au milieu de la nuit, nous paniquons avec ma sœur et mon cousin ! Pour les retrouver, on doit explorer chaque pièce de cet endroit lugubreBy Richard Rohmer. 2003
This volume combines three of Richard Rohmer's best-selling novels in one book. Ultimatum, Exxoneration, and Periscope Red are all fast-paced,…
incisive novels in which Rohmer makes fiction read like fact. They are chilling visions of a world of military conflict, legal and political entanglements, and Canada's role in domestic and international spheres. The issues inside are just as important to Canada today as they were when the books were written. In all of these works, Rohmer demonstrates his insider's knowledge of the energy industry and the military, and his master storyteller's ability to bring it alive.By Sarah Degonse. 2021
