About the Book

Martial Norbert, as de l'aviation pendant la Grande Guerre et fiancé de la belle Rosy, fille de l'ingénieur Wilcox, spécialiste des terrains miniers, part à la recherche de son futur beau-père disparu depuis trois ans alors qu'il était parti exploiter une concession minière au Mexique. Cette concession englobe La Vallée du désespoir, nom donné par les Indiens à une vallée d'accès très difficile; les rares aventuriers qui en sont revenus sont morts dans l'année. N'écoutant que son courage et sa bravoure, Martial s'y engage et ce qu'il va découvrir est littéralement stupéfiant. Peu de personnages, mais beaucoup de soleil et de soif dans ce récit de voyage dangereux et épuisant. Mais ce qui troublait profondément Martial c'était les voix qui s'élevaient de ce marécage damné; le coassement des grenouilles-taureaux et le sifflement des crapauds se mêlaient à d'autres cris d'une nature inexplicable. C'était de temps à autre la clameur d'agonie de quelque petite bête surprise par un serpent; puis il y avait des froissements d'écailles, des hululements, des bruits assourdis, dont rien ne saurait rendre l'accent tragique et déchirant. Tout ce monde de la fange, ce peuple de reptiles, se livrait dans les ténèbres une guerre atroce où les plus faibles étaient, sans merci, dévorés par les plus forts.
About the Author: Biographie - Gustave Le Rouge Gustave Lerouge, dit Gustave Le Rouge, né à Valognes le 22 juillet 1867 et mort à Paris le 24 février 1938, est un écrivain et journaliste français. Portrait: Gustave Le Rouge était un polygraphe, auteur de nombreux ouvrages sur toutes sortes de sujets - un roman de cape et d'épée, des poèmes, une anthologie commentée de Brillat-Savarin, des Souvenirs, des pièces de théâtre, des scénarios de films policiers, des ciné-romans à épisode, des anthologies, des essais, des ouvrages de critique... - et surtout de romans d'aventure populaires dont la plupart incorporent une dose de fantastique, de science-fiction ou de merveilleux. Suiveur de Jules Verne et de Paul d'Ivoi dans ses premiers essais dans ce genre (La Conspiration des Milliardaires, 1899-1900; La Princesse des Airs, 1902; Le sous-marin Jules Verne, 1902), il s'en démarque nettement dans les ouvrages plus aboutis du cycle martien (Le prisonnier de la planète Mars, 1908; La guerre des vampires, 1909) et dans Le Mystérieux Docteur Cornélius (1911-1912, 5 vol.), considéré comme son chef-d'oeuvre, un roman dont le héros maléfique est le docteur Cornélius Kramm, le sculpteur de chair humaine inventeur de la carnoplastie, une technique qui permet à une personne de prendre l'apparence d'une autre. Le Rouge y récuse tout souci de vraisemblance scientifique au profit d'un style très personnel, caractérisé par une circulation permanente entre le plan du rationalisme et celui de l'occultisme, et par l'imbrication fréquente entre l'aventure et l'intrigue sentimentale (à la différence de Jules Verne). Ses romans de science-fiction évoquent Maurice Leblanc, Gaston Leroux et surtout Maurice Renard.
