Praise for HIER JE VOUS DONNERAI DE MES NOUVELLES

“In short story mode the author is just as comfortable as in the novel sequence he excels in.”  Thierry Hubert, Le Dauphiné Libéré
Pierre Bordage

Praise for L'HOMME TRUQUE

Serge Lehman & Gess have already delighted us with La Brigade chimérique. Here they are again with a free adaptation of L'Homme truqué (The Phony Man) by Maurice Renard, a key author in the history of conjectural literature both in fiction and non-fiction. Published by L'Atalante in its collection Flambant 9, L'Homme truqué in part takes up the world of La Brigade chimérique again with the end of the First World War, the Radium Institute,... there's no doubt it's going to be a good story... We can but hope that the multiple allusions in graphic books (whether it be Lehman, Nolane, Lofficier and the rest) made to old novels concerning conjectural literature will...

Praise for LA BRIGADE CHIMERIQUE omnibus edition

What the press says about LA BRIGADE CHIMERIQUE omnibus edition     "La Brigade Chimérique: an epitaph on European heroes Why did Superman and Batman never exist in Europe? Why was there a real gap in French science fiction fantasy between Jules Verne and Barjavel? The science fiction author Serge Lehman and his acolytes suggest a fascinating answer to this question. […] La Brigade Chimérique carries in itself the solution to its own enigma: Can Europe and France in particular produce super-heroes and modern myths once more? The answer is yes. The French equivalent of Alan Moore’s The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, La Brigade follows the same principle...
Serge Lehman, Fabrice Colin, Gess

Praise for LA BRIGADE CHIMERIQUE VI

  "A stimulating work: such an unusual thing that, for just this reason, you should start reading the Brigade Chimérique!"   Le comptoir de la BD     "La Brigade chimérique is more than just fiction. It is an archaeological delve into the heart of the mutilated European imaginary. An attempt to reconstruct what happened to us seventy years ago - to understand how we lost the Homeric power to express our values in the mythological form. With, perhaps, the hope that this confrontation will help to re-establish that broken link."   BD Fugue          "It's really obvious: it's intelligent, beautiful and ingenious; I'm so...

Praise for LA BRIGADE CHIMERIQUE V

  SANS-DETOUR TO BRING OUT BRIGADE CHIMERIQUE ROLE-PLAYING GAME There is truth in the rumour we started not so long ago: the Brigade Chimérique role-playing game will see the light of day. Marketed by Sans-Détour, it comes out at the end of 2010 [...] Romain d'Huissier (Qin, Capharnaüm, Devâstra...), a fan of the series right from the start, is the motivating force behind the project. His super powers have enabled him to head hunt a few pure heroes of the role-playing nation: Willy Favre (Brain Soda, Humanydyne, Kuro, Sable Rouge...), Julien Heylbroeck (Warsaw, Humanydyne...), Laurent Devernay (Kuro, Brain Soda...), and Stéphane Treille (Qin, Kuro...). ...

Praise for LA BRIGADE CHIMERIQUE II

Cinema, literature, comics, legends, science, history… Serge Lehman and Fabrice Colin have fished in every pool of popular culture to create a sprawling, completely wild series that includes countless unexpected meetings and exciting appearances. Mikaël Demets, evene.fr, August 2009   La Brigade Chimérique at the beginning of "J'irai lire des Comics chez vous, #7": “Absolutely terrific!” Comics Place   It’s intelligent, it’s beautiful, it’s packed with cultural references and great ideas, and the sum total creates a very rich and coherent universe. This graphic book adopts a pleasing comic format, and each number is divided into...

Praise for LA BRIGADE CHIMERIQUE

If I say I was absolutely delighted with this first volume, perhaps that doesn't mean much, but I did find what I enjoy most in certain super hero comics, and also in many novels and other graphic books. There's just one thing I'm looking forward to - reading the second and the third...                                                                                                                            ...

Praise for L'ENJOMINEUR

Although deeply anchored in fantasy, L'Enjomineur is primarily a weel-documented historical novel, that, through the adventures of the two mai characters - and a myriad of secondary characters, historical or not, but always credible - envelopes the reader in the events and the thinking of the era in a formidably efficient manner. Le cafard cosmique, 1st July 2006. Borne on by an unprecedented romanesque current, the author of Les Guerriers du silence proudly brings his historical fantasy trilogy to a close. Le Figaro et vous, 6th July 2006.
Pierre Bordage

Praise for L'ENJOMINEUR

“One feels carried along by the tide of the epoch… Pierre Bordage, like Alexandre Dumas or Paul Féval, is privy to the secrets of travelling through time and the imaginary and knows how to enthral his readers.” Le Dauphiné Libéré, 29th November 2004. “The principal enchanter in this story is Pierre Bordage himself, who manages to bewitch the reader for 400 pages of a novel that he can’t put down.” Le Soir, 21th January 2005.

Praise for Nouvelle Vie TM

Praise for Wang

“Through his considerable open-mindedness and sensitivity, Bordage can now be confirmed as one of the pillars of the new generation of French authors. We can bet that Wang will satisfy Ayerdhal, that sweet-talker of SF, in his fetish-desire for Science Fiction that goes beyond recognised boundaries.” Ozone, March/May 1997.

Praise for Les Guerriers du silence

“In eight years he has sold hundreds of thousands of copies of his novels. […] Atalante, a Nantes-based publishing company, accepted The Warriors of Silence. By word of mouth the sales of the novel reached 50,000 copies. ‘The milieu was wondering who this writer was. Added to the fact that he was French, he was also being published by an up-market publishing house.’ Very rapidly the name Pierre Bordage has become a benchmark in the genre because he knows how to enthral his readers.” Ouest-France, 6/7th May 2000.
