Anéantir

In a near-future France, poised on the brink of a presidential election, the world's delicate order is threatened by a series of sophisticated and anonymous terrorist attacks. Paul Raison, a disillusioned civil servant at the Ministry of Finance, finds himself at the center of this unfolding crisis. He is an adviser to the charismatic minister Bruno Juge, a man who may hold the nation's future in his hands. As Paul navigates the corridors of power, his detached existence is further fractured by personal turmoil: a failing marriage and the sudden illness of his father, a retired intelligence officer.

The story moves from the high stakes of international politics to the intimate landscapes of family drama and personal reckoning. While a global mystery deepens, Paul is forced to confront his own life, his relationships, and the quiet disappointments that have defined him. He must navigate a world where political maneuvering, technological warfare, and the fragility of human connection collide. This novel explores the potential for love and redemption in a society seemingly spiraling toward annihilation.
