Après une explosion atomique, la plupart des terriens survivants sont partis s'installer sur les planètes de la Confédération de Véga. L'espérance de vie de certains hommes a augmenté. Ainsi, personne ne connaît l'âge de Conrad Nomikos, le conservateur de la Terre, qui vit sur une île grecque miraculeusement préservée. Il a pour mission de guider Cort Myshtigo, un végan venu explorer la planète.

Review of 'This Immortal' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

It was kind of difficult at the start to get used to the narrative: Fluid but with blank places, never seeming to have a pause, characters that usually told everything between lines, perfect timing and definitely even if interesting this book didn't age well (hah).
But was quite pleasant anyway.

I enjoyed the brutal fights and the way mythology of old ages came to live again.

"Do you not see a convergence of life and myth, here, during the last days of life on this planet?"



I'll add Zelazny to my to-read repertory.
