A cautionary tale illuminated with dark enlightenment.--Kirkus reviews, starred review. <p/><b>Praise for the Themis Files</b> <p/>"As high-concept as it is, Sleeping Giants is a thriller through and through. . . . Not only is Sleeping Giants one of the most promising series kickoffs in recent memory, it's a smart demonstration of how science fiction can honor its traditions and reverse-engineer them at the same time."--NPR <p/>But the most surprising thing about the book may just be how compelling the central characters are in the midst of these larger-than-life concepts. . . . I can't stop thinking about it.--The Chicago Review of Books <p/>"Reminiscent of The Martian and World War Z, Sleeping Giants is a luminous conspiracy yarn that shoots for (and lands among) the stars."--Pierce Brown</p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Sylvain Neuvel has taught linguistics in India, and worked as a software engineer in Montreal. He is also a certified translator, though he wishes he were an astronaut. His girlfriend would have him believe that he has too many toys, so he writes about aliens and giant robots as a blatant excuse to build action figures (for his son, of course). His debut, <i>Sleeping Giants</i>, was described by NPR as "one of the most promising series kickoffs in recent memory."
