Well the two things I can think of right now are Werber's Fourmi series. It's about the adventures of an ant in her colony and in parallel the adventures of people involved in the study of ants (? I read this years ago, my memory is a bit hazy). It has exciting chases, secret underground labs and mysterious old books.

Another one would be Le Juif Errant by d'Ormesson. It's historical fiction, basically taking the legend of the Wandering Jew and following that character through history. Quite good.

Thanks. I think I'll check out Vonarburg. Looks interesting. *NM* - 14/05/2010 08:43:51 PM 259 Views
Only her SF has been translated into English so far. - 14/05/2010 09:24:19 PM 683 Views
It has to be rather annoying when that happens, translations ending halfway. - 14/05/2010 09:45:00 PM 703 Views
Or, you could read it and tell me what happens. - 14/05/2010 09:51:21 PM 694 Views
I'd tell you but I don't really remember... - 16/05/2010 12:02:26 AM 583 Views
As Dom argues in Larry's link, there isn't really that much. - 14/05/2010 08:43:06 PM 640 Views
Drat. Curse the linguistic dominance of my native tongue! - 14/05/2010 09:17:32 PM 608 Views
Uh, not really, it's set in the 20th century. - 14/05/2010 09:40:34 PM 579 Views
Sounds interesting. I'll keep it in mind. - 14/05/2010 10:03:03 PM 645 Views

Know what's pathetic? I forgot about Jules. - 16/05/2010 06:06:41 AM 599 Views
While you're reading 19th century (semi-)spec-fic books... - 16/05/2010 10:51:20 AM 579 Views
I read Leroux in English a while ago, so that's out. But yeah, Alix is good. - 17/05/2010 03:03:37 AM 677 Views
You know him? Impressive. - 17/05/2010 10:12:20 AM 601 Views
