Synopsis by Clarke Fountain
Stéphane is a linguist whose work in obscure and ancient languages has permitted him to become the only person who knows one of the languages. When all sorts of electronic equipment begin serving as conduits for messages in that very language, messages which are instructing him personally, to avert forthcoming disasters, he understandably has some difficulty believing that they are anything other than hallucinations. However, the mysterious voice soon proves its reality, and this otherwise ordinary academic is unwillingly embarked on a quest to save the world.
