On a cold winter evening, the European power grid begins to fail. Many countries are plunged into darkness, and several nuclear power plants threaten the lives of millions. Is it a terrorist threat or a technical failure? Piero Manzano, a former Italian hacker, believes he knows who is responsible. With the help of a French Europol officer, François Bollard, Manzano embarks on a race against time against an equally cunning and invisible adversary. "An insightful thriller that is repeatedly caught up by reality. This makes it both interesting and frightening." - Blaise Gauquelin, Libération. "An apocalyptic yet playful novel that relies on the absurdity of our energy patterns. Read it before it's too late." - Hubert Artus, Lesen.
