It is early 21st century in New York and the superheroes are tired: Mister Fantastic, Batman, Superman, Mystique and the others have hung up the gloves to become successful people in business, media or entertainment. So who is trying to eliminate them one by one? An epic post-September 11 saga, it recounts the crepuscular story of the end of the world embodied for decades by the United States - a civilisation that is also ours. A combination of thriller and parody, this is a disenchanted yet romantic novel set to confirm Mancassola as a leading novelist of his generation.
