Philippe Rouard Book order (chronological)

Passion brûlante, suspense, trahisons . tous les ingrédients d'un roman d'aventures haletant, sous la plume d'un des plus grands acteurs du XXe siècle. Au début des années 80, Marlon Brando et son ami Donald Cammell se retrouvent sur une île isolée du Pacifique pour travailler ensemble à l'écriture d'un roman d'aventures, de piraterie et d'amour: Les Tigres de la mer de Chine. C'est le début d'une incroyable collaboration, la rencontre de deux personnalités et de deux imaginations hors du commun. Longtemps resté secret, sans cesse interrompu et repris au gré des humeurs de ses auteurs, le livre mettra finalement près de trente ans à voir le jour. L'histoire se passe dans les années 30, quelque part en mer de Chine, entre Hong Kong et Macao. Le héros, Anatole Doultry dit " Annie ", est un baroudeur dont la réputation s'étend des Philippines jusqu'à Shanghai. Emprisonné à Hong Kong, il sauve la peau d'un de ses compagnons de cellule, un homme aux ordres de Mme Lai Choi San, l'une des pirates les plus redoutées de toute l'Asie. A sa libération, Mme Laï propose à Annie, pour le récompenser, de participer à l'acte de piraterie le plus audacieux de tous les temps : mettre la main sur le Chozu Fa, un navire lesté de lingots d'argent. Fasciné par cette alliée ambitieuse et séduisante, Annie décide de relever le défi...

In 2025, with the world descending into madness and anarchy, one woman begins a fateful journey toward a better future. Lauren Olamina and her family live in one of the only safe neighborhoods remaining on the outskirts of Los Angeles. Behind the walls of their defended enclave, Lauren’s father, a preacher, and a handful of other citizens try to salvage what remains of a culture that has been destroyed by drugs, disease, war, and chronic water shortages. While her father tries to lead people on the righteous path, Lauren struggles with hyperempathy, a condition that makes her extraordinarily sensitive to the pain of others. When fire destroys their compound, Lauren’s family is killed and she is forced out into a world that is fraught with danger. With a handful of other refugees, Lauren must make her way north to safety, along the way conceiving a revolutionary idea that may mean salvation for all mankind.

Enter Latchmer, falling. An innocent abroad in Now York City, he has a lot of problems: an anonymous job with Xerox; a childhood that vaguely troubles him; a hot date tonight with lascivious, one-handed Sarah Hughes. Then fate deals Latchmer a joker in the deck, and all his problems come down, apparently, to this: how to get rid of a dead dog. As Latchmer hits the night-time streets, his burden double-bagged in Hefties, little does he know what an incredible journey awaits him. It is an odyssey through hell and hilarity, guided by one Jean-Claude, a philosophically reckless Hatian cab driver who believes, quite rightly as things turn out, that dogs have a far higher purpose in death than to enrich the soil. As his strange adventure unfolds, Latchmer suffers from a guilty and guileless compulsion to tell curious tales of betrayal. In the end, having sought to bury his shaggy charge in Central Park (all other options having proved unavailing), he finds himself face to face with his own unburied past.

When a young computer genius manages to infiltrate the American computerized defense system, he finds himself in a precarious situation that could trigger a nuclear war.

The protagonist must confront not only external threats but also his own moral dilemmas, as the stakes rise and the world teeters on the brink of disaster. This thrilling narrative delves into the implications of technological advancement and the fragility of global security in the modern age.
