📖 Les guerriers du silence (🇫🇷 1993) est un #roman de #SF de Pierre Bordage, 1e tome de la trilogie éponyme.
❤️❤️❤️❤️(❤️)
📝 La Confédération de Naflin, composée de 10es de mondes, est un empire galactique corrompu et décadent. Des êtres doués de pouvoirs psychiques inquiétants veulent en prendre le contrôle mais qq humains isolés vont se dresser sur leur chemin. Si le résumé ne semble guère original, ce roman n'en est pas moins passionnant malgré sa longueur. Un coup de maître pour un 1e roman.

Iris Part 15
Adele stepped out, leaving the girls alone for a moment.
"I guess you've been dying to meet Colin for years" Alice's voice was subdued.
"It is exciting, but he's the first person outside of," Indigo gestured around the boat, "here and the exotic community that will know about me. I'm a bit scared. Sit by me? Please?"
Alice shuffled over so she was properly next to her friend. Indi leaned back a little against her.
Outside, Adele looked across at Colin. "Indi says you can come aboard," she made the invitation sound like a threat.
Colin gulped, and stepped aboard. Adele moved next to him, and whispered "If you ever hurt either of them, I will end you."
"Yes, ma'am!", he said, accent back in force.
She opened the door to the saloon, and gently pushed him in.
"Girls", she announced, "this is Colin. Colin, meet Indigo and my daughter Alice."
Colin stared, then shook himself. "Uh, hi. Um."
Indigo blushed hard "Uh, hi, Colin. Uh, yeah, it's real. Er, Adele? Can you get mum or dad from below. One of them should be here."
Adele nodded, and went below. As soon as she was below decks, Indigo asked "Did she threaten you?"
"Yes?" Colin said softly.
"That tracks. Don't worry about it. She hasn't had anyone shot in six years."
"Is that supposed to be reassuring? And what about" he pointed at her tail.
"I'll explain when mum or dad are here. I figured you had your secrets, this one is mine."
Alice looked on as Colin continued to stand awkwardly in the middle of the cabin. "Oh for crying out loud, just sit down!" she finally burst out, just as Iris came up the companionway, Adele following.
Colin, quickly stood up from half sitting. "Uh, hi Mrs Chandler. Sorry for turning up unannounced."
Iris looked over the slender dark haired young man and sighed. "Well, I see the girls have already introduced themselves. Welcome aboard. Dave is looking after Elizabeth, she's fussing a little. As Alice just said, do sit. Tea?"
A look of absolute relief came over Colin's face. This was something he could deal with. "Yes please, white with two, please."
"I'll look after it. Girls?", Adele asked.
"Yes, please," they chorused back.
"Now, we have some rules. Firstly, no photos, and no telling anyone - not family, not friends, no-one - about Indi. Unless you know some other people who are similarly gifted?"
"Uh, no. No, I don't. Does that mean there are other sorts of people out there too?"
"Oh yes. For example..." and Iris turned to water "I am a naiad, or water nymph." She turned back. "I know you are taking a gap year, backpacking. But what are you doing here, specifically?"
"I came to see Indi. Uh, not like that. Cause we've been sending letters so long and well, I got my passport, and um" as he spoke he sped up, and his accent started to get thicker, and then stuttered out.

#WordWeavers Share a vivid sensory description from your story. What was writing it like?
Bolt's university student boyfriend, Molt, with whom she's had lots of fun and for whom she's just bought a gift, shows up pummeled. She will soon learn it's her mob coworker who did it. Molt is so frightened, he's packing to leave Home City. She's a day angel.
"Who did this to you?" I asked, trying to be the adult, a role I was certain to mess up, even acting out mother's how-to-be-a-mother script. I brought up my wings, tapping joints on the wood ceiling, blocking the glaring light of the sprite lantern hung in the center of the room, creating an ever smaller shaded space we alone occupied; it didn't matter he was bigger than me. I hoped he felt protected, as protected as I'd felt growing up when mother did it for me. My splayed feathers filtered the dimness to blue, making his darkening bruises stand out. Lines of scabs on his scraped knees resembled distant barbed wire. Sweat. I remembered it was salty. My nose twitched. I'd liked his male scent—might have recognized him by it, but this? Acidic. Acrid. I hated the change. I hated who caused it.
The who did this answered itself.
A shaking palm flattened against my sternum, stopping me. I felt the distressed thump of my heart. He would, too. For a time, neither of us relented, breathing hard. He calmed though, snuffled mucus, and inhaled deeply.
—from a chapter titled Molting from Reluctant Courier (for the Mob)
Is it vivid?
The vividness of the language in this passage results from iterative revision. It's me asking myself if a statement is something I could feel, hear, smell, see, or taste. It's choosing active verbs instead of "was." It's replacing the non-concrete with the concrete, and then switching out cool measured words with words to insight fire and emotion.
The vividness of feeling comes from the context and what it demanded. Male and female gender roles are reversed here, and she is a day angel with wings. What comes before is her reviewing in her head the trauma of dealing with her own phobia of flying (mostly healed, not forgotten), and the family issues surrounding her not fledging until she was 10 instead of 3. It's her mob affiliation that's hurt him; she wants to protect him but knows it's impossible. I had to write in all their vulnerabilities and neither emasculate him nor prevent her jock instincts from robbing her of a nurturing side. Her feelings must come off as earnest.

#PennedPossibilities 920 — How does your MC feel about their childhood home?
At this point in composing her story, though Bolt hasn't said it, she wants to go home. Her mother and uncle didn't support her dreams, but after being forced to involuntarily work for the mob thanks to a train wreck of stupid mistakes, mistakes Bolt accepts proves her parents were both right and knew what was best, her spirit is crushed. In a society where brothers typically raise their sister's children, she thinks about how she last saw her baby brother when he was 5. He's now 17 and couldn't possibly remember her. She's 30. It makes her keenly introspective, which demonstrates how she's grown from the arrogant teen jock she once was. Working for the mob, Bolt can't go home. It would expose them to danger. But her home and her mistakes and longing comes up when she's looking at a package of contraceptives. She realizes that having children is something she mustn't ever let happen. Her homesickness worsens when she catches herself being motherly to a boyfriend who's ⅔rds her age. It makes her feel really old.
