C1 Neal BARRETT Jr. FORMES SOUS TENSION. Edition Opta 1975 "Galaxie bis" # 46, EPUISE EN LIBRAIRIE, broche, format 11.5*18 cm, 251 pages. Couverture Couleurs par Patrice LEYRISSET. BON ETAT, EDITION ORIGINALE en francais Traduction de l'americain (Stress Pattern, 1974) Prenez le Ver-express, sur la planète de toutes les surprises ! Sa tête sans traits était sombre, presque noire, et comme il approchait, je pus voir le noir laisser la place, sur le corps, à des bandes grises segmentées. Les bandes claires étaient nues, et les zones sombres étaient couvertes de touffes de poils hérissés. Et sa taille ! La taille me terrifia plus que tout autre chose. Elle était à la limite de ce que je pouvais supporter sans m'enfuir. Lorsque le monstre s'arrêta enfin, j'étais paralysé. Il respirait comme une baleine asthmatique. De grandes fentes sur ses côtés couverts de poils se dilataient, se tendaient avec obscénité, puis se refermaient avec moiteur. L'air chaud m'atteignit. Dieu !.j'étais certain que rien, nulle part, ne pouvait avoir pareille odeur ! Je regardai les extra-terrestres. Ils n'étaient pas venus pour voir le ver géant et repartir. Ils étaient venus pour se glisser à l'intérieur. Ils prenaient calmement les soies à pleine main et se hissaient à bord. Il suffisait d'attendre que la chose expire, et de se glisser dans une des fentes humides. Je courus. Je me glissais à l'intérieur un quart de seconde avant que la chose ne se referme derrière moi. C'était un drôle de système pour se rendre tous les matins au travail. Et puis, je vomis. SI L'ETAT NE CONVIENT PAS, JE REPRENDS LE LIVRE NON REEDITE en francais a l'heure actuelle ***** ATTENTION ! ! A PARTIR DU 1er JUILLET, LE TARIF ECONOMIQUE LIVRE ET BROCHURE N'EXISTE PLUS. ENVOI A L'INTERNATIONAL EN TARIF COURRIER OU COLISSIMO, BEAUCOUP PLUS ONEREUX.
