Olen Steinhauer est sans doute l’un des meilleurs auteurs de thriller d’espionnage du moment. Tandis que THE CAIRO AFFAIR, publié aux Etats-Unis en mars et au Royaume-Uni début mai, caracole sur les listes de bestsellers, son prochain roman, ALL THE OLD KNIVES, fait déjà parler de lui. Chockstone Pictures (The Tree of Life) et Nick Wechsler (Requiem for a Dream) en feront un film et ont demandé à Olen Steinheuer d’écrire lui-même le scénario.
L’action de ALL THE OLD KNIVES se déroule lors d’un dîner entre deux espions et anciens amants, impliqués dans le détournement d’un avion autrichien au cours duquel tous les passagers ont été tués.
Cet événement dramatique et la relation amoureuse qui lie les amants sont révélés au travers d’une conversation qui ne cesse de rebondir et de prendre des virages inattendus. L’histoire s’articule peu à peu, entre mensonges, vérités, hypocrisies et sentiments. Un livre de 188 pages à lire d’une traite jusqu’à la dernière ligne, éclairante et décisive.
ALL THE OLD KNIVES sera publié par Minotaur au printemps 2015.
Ci-dessous, la présentation de THE CAIRO AFFAIR, encore libre de droits pour la langue française :

Sophie Kohl is living her worst nightmare
THE CAIRO AFFAIR
by Olen Steinhauer
An Amazon book of the month, best of the month of the Apple iBookstore and Pop Sugar
“Elaborate, sophisticated spy tale, a long, twisty road full of cleverly placed potholes and unexpected turns.” – The New York Times
“Combined with spot-on characters and smooth plotting, his novels, including this one, favor what feels like messy authenticity over Hollywood-style Bond adventures.” – CS Monitor
« Steinhauer has once again produced an extremely well-constructed page-turner, this time set in Egypt during the initial Libyan uprising. » Indie Next
« An elegant, elaborate clockwork of mystery and deception that should draw readers in and keep them on tenterhooks as they try to figure out what is really making it all tick. … One marvels at the intricacy of its imagination and the elegance of its maker’s craftsmanship. » – Publishers Weekly
“A genuine page turner—cleverly conceived and intricately plotted. Steinhauer juggles political and personal loyalties with a master storyteller’s sleight of hand.”—Joseph Kanon
“The Cairo Affair is the espionage novel at its best, packed with betrayals, double-crosses, hidden agendas, moral conflicts, international relations, and even a delectable double-entendre of a title.”—Chris Pavone
Minutes after Sophie Kohl confesses to her husband Emmett, a mid-level diplomat at the American embassy in Hungary, that she had an affair six months ago while they were in Cairo, he is shot and killed. Stan Bertolli, a Cairo-based CIA agent, has fielded his share of midnight calls. But his heart skips a beat when, this time, he hears the voice of the only woman he ever truly loved, calling to ask why her husband has been assassinated. Omar Halawi has worked in Egyptian intelligence for years, and he knows how to play the game. But the murder of a diplomat in Hungary has ripple effects even back in Cairo, and Omar must follow the fall-out wherever it leads. American analyst Jibril Aziz knows more about Stumbler, a covert operation rejected by the CIA years ago, than anyone. Sowhen it appears someone else has obtained a copy of the blueprints, Jibril knows better than almost anyone the danger it represents. . As these players converge in Cairo, Olen Steinhauer’s masterful manipulations slowly craft a portrait of a marriage, a jigsaw puzzle of loyalty and betrayal, against a dangerous world where allegiances are never clear and outcomes are never guaranteed.

A spectacular literary Sci-Fi debut of war without end,a soldier without an army, and revenge without mercy
ANCILLARY JUSTICE
by Ann Leckie
Orbit, October 2013
« Debut novel, narrated by a military space ship, triumphs over work of established authors in top science fiction prize » – The Guardian
« A double-threaded narrative proves seductive, drawing the reader into the naive but determined protagonist’s efforts to transform an unjust universe. An expansionist galaxy-spinning empire [and] a protagonist on a single-minded quest for justice transcend space-opera conventions in innovative ways. This impressive debut succeeds in making Breq a protagonist readers will invest in, and establishes Leckie as a talent to watch. » —Publishers Weekly
« Leckie does a very good job of setting up this complex equation… This is an altogether promising debut. » —Kirkus
On a remote, icy planet, the soldier known as Breq is drawing closer to completing her quest. Breq is both more than she seems and less than she was. Years ago, she was the Justice of Toren–a colossal starship with an artificial intelligence linking thousands of corpse soldiers in the service of the Radch, the empire that conquered the galaxy.
An act of treachery has ripped it all away, leaving her with only one fragile human body. And only one purpose–to revenge herself on Anaander Mianaai, the many-bodied, near-immortal Lord of the Radch.
Ann Leckie has worked as a waitress, a receptionist, a rodman on a land-surveying crew, a lunch lady, and a recording engineer. The author of many published short stories, and secretary of the Science Fiction Writers of America.
Mise à jour du 1 septembre 2014 : Ann Leckie lauréate du prix HUGO ! Après le BSFA Award et le prix Arthur C. Clarke, Ann Leckie devient ainsi le premier auteur à remporter les trois prix les plus importants pour la science fiction dans la même année. ANCILLARY JUSTICE est déjà un roman culte!
