Place : Gemma, a "snowball" planet, i.e. a terrestrial extrasolar planet with overall glaciation, orbiting around the binary star, Altamira (an Alpha Centauri type), discovered in 2012 by Michel Mayor’s team at the Geneva Observatory. We are in the same galaxy as our own, 6.5 light-years away. This is the most distant human colony. A one way trip of more than seventeen years.
Context: A huge spaceship in orbit, Le Grand Arc, a phantom vessel which has never shown any sign of life and remains inaccessible. In addition, on the planet itself extremophile micro-organisms discovered by the first wave of explorers one hundred and fifty years earlier, prove that more complex forms of life must have developed before the glacial period. A fascinating research project for the ambitious young microbiologist Ambre Pasquier.
Soon after she settles there the young woman starts to be haunted by dreams that put her in contact with the traces of the first visitors to Gemma, the Constructors... It becomes an obsession and she organises a scientific expedition - the Archea Mission - whose official aim is to look for primitive forms of life in the glacial layers. In fact, she has a completely different objective - keeping it secret to avoid interference by the militia, a pseudo-military organisation having recently taken control of the colony. A passage has to be cut through the ice by means of a giant tunnelling machine to get to the rock substrata and ruins that Ambre is certain of discovering there. Around twenty scientists have been recruited: Glaciologists, geophysicists, exobiologists, geneticists, climatologists, engineers, doctors... Two people have infiltrated the team: one on behalf of a group of physicists who for over ten years have been studying the particularities of a specific planetary zone affected by fluctuations of the space-time field. The other works for the military personnel who have recently taken control of the colony.
The expedition turns into chaos.
Individual and "cosmic" destinies converge in the character of Ambre, who becomes the link between fundamental forces.

地点:杰玛星,一个太阳系外白雪皑皑的星球,围绕着双子星转动,也就是阿尔塔米拉(半人马座阿尔法星)。这颗星球于2012年被米歇尔市长研究团队在日内瓦天文台发现。地球和这颗星球身处同一个银河系中,之间有着6.5光年的距离。这是人类最遥远的一个殖民地,单程要17年才能到达。
故事:一艘巨大的宇航船运行在杰玛星的轨道上,这艘幽灵船上没有任何生命的迹象,也没有人成功登船过。其实,早在150年前,就在这颗星球上探测到了极端微生物的存在,所以在冰川时期前便有更为复杂的生命形式这一假说也就成立了。 年轻且雄心勃勃的微生物学家Ambre Pasquier准备对此展开研究。
当她定居在杰玛星之后,那些第一批到达这颗星球的微生物深深吸引了她,她为此魂牵梦萦,之后Ambre还成立了一个科学探险队。这个探险队表面上是要探索冰层中原始的生物,但实际上则有着截然不同的目的。他们必须严守这个秘密,一个伪军事组织近期掌控了杰玛星,Ambre不想自己的研究受到他们的干扰。科学探索队要通过巨大的隧道钻巷机打通冰层,抵达岩石基层和内部的废墟,Ambre立志要探索那块地方。她招募了大约20个科学家,其中包括冰川学家,物理学家,生态学家,基因学家,气象学家,工程师,医生等。两位科学家已经成为了这个团队的核心人物。一个是物理学家的代表,他们研究受到波动的时空领域影响的特定的行星区的特殊性超过十年。另一位则是最近统治杰玛星军队的内部人员。
科学探索成了一片混乱。
Ambre变成了这两种力量之间的纽带,个人和宇宙的命运都掌握在她的手里。(XAT)
Awards/获奖情况:"Mixing human drama and supernatural dangers in a cosmic environment, Vestiges is an exciting novel and the first of a trilogy which should be fascinating, as it skilfully plays with the rules of science fiction and fantasy. For her first novel Laurence Suhner strikes hard and again confirms the quality of L’Atalante’s catalogue." Steggtegg, Psychovision
