Synopsis

Daniel25 is the 25th descendant of Daniel1, by artificial reproduction. He might be the loneliest hermit ever and he lives
in a cave with his dog Fox, protected against any contamination.
He receives satellite pictures on his computer that broadcast visions of a deserted land. Like his predecessors, he dedicates himself to the writing of a commentary on the events that led Daniel1 to take the head of a sect. At the origin of a new worship, the purpose of this sect is to create a race that will survive to the human race.

After many years of separation, Daniel1 comes to meet up with
his father who is the chief of a sect closely evoking the ra‘lians. With the recruitment of a highly qualified scientist and the construction of a laboratory, Daniel1 finds out that the sect he thought to be based on a banal trickery has changed. He realizes
that the promise made to the followers is about to be kept
(technical immortality through the means of modern biology).
After his fatherÕs death, Daniel1 will decide to replace him.

Twenty-five generations afterwards, Daniel25 survived to the cataclysms that have devastated the human race. Guided by mysterious messages appearing on his computer screens, his life changes when he discovers the existence of another survivor on
the Earth surface...
