I read this book in the original during a recent French holiday and as it has become a best seller in France I planned to do an English translation. However, I now find that Mr. Monk has beaten me to it ! A pity as I think that this easily matches the action and suspense of, for example, "The Day After Tomorrow" or similar, at least for the first two hundred pages. I found the two lead characters engaging if relatively stereotypical and the plot is initially intriguing as it promises to involve neo-nazis, genetics, cloning, mad scientists etc. However,the novel runs out of steam about half way through,becomes muddled and over long and the ending, or "denouement" if you will, is a total anti-climax. In a way,in retrospect, I am rather glad I didn't have to translate it after all !....END
