Auteurs\u00a0: <\/strong>James Patterson et Michael Ledwidge<\/p>\n

Editeur\u00a0: <\/strong>L\u2019Archipel<\/p>\n

Genre\u00a0: <\/strong>Thriller<\/p>\n

R\u00e9sum\u00e9\u00a0:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00c0 Los Angeles, deux lions d\u00e9vorent leur gardien. Dans l’\u00c9tat de New York, des chasseurs sont tu\u00e9s par des ours bruns. En Inde, un \u00e9l\u00e9phant pi\u00e9tine \u00e0 mort son cornac\u2026
\nPartout, les b\u00eates, sauvages et domestiques, se montrent brusquement d’une agressivit\u00e9 inou\u00efe \u00e0 l’encontre d’une esp\u00e8ce bien particuli\u00e8re : l\u2019homme.
\nSeul Jackson Oz, docteur en biologie \u00e0 l\u2019universit\u00e9 de Californie, a conscience de la menace : l’humanit\u00e9 court \u00e0 sa perte. Bient\u00f4t la Terre ne sera plus qu’un vaste zoo sans cages, dont les animaux auront pris le contr\u00f4le.<\/p>\n

Avis\u00a0:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Si l\u2019homme se retrouve en haut de la cha\u00eene alimentaire gr\u00e2ce sa pseudo-intelligence, sa place est souvent mise \u00e0 mal dans des fictions qui les confrontent \u00e0 des pr\u00e9dateurs naturels. Cette propension \u00e0 retourner l\u2019\u00e9quilibre des forces naturelles a m\u00eame donn\u00e9 un genre particuli\u00e8rement pris\u00e9 par les cin\u00e9philes amateurs de s\u00e9ries B, le survival animalier. On associe moins facilement le r\u00e8gne animal comme cause principale d\u2019une apocalypse en devenir. La chose est d\u00e9sormais rectifi\u00e9e avec Zoo<\/strong>, nouvelle collaboration entre James Patterson<\/em> et Michael Ledwidge<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Loin des nombreux polars et autres thrillers que le duo offre habituellement, l\u2019histoire lorgne du c\u00f4t\u00e9 du fantastique et \u00e9ventuellement de l\u2019horreur dans ses intentions. Grossi\u00e8rement, Zoo<\/strong> s\u2019accapare ce qui fait l\u2019attrait premier du survival animalier (\u00e0 savoir, une b\u00eate qui s\u2019en prend \u00e0 l\u2019homme) en le globalisant \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9chelle plan\u00e9taire pour n\u2019\u00e9pargner personne. Cela reste tr\u00e8s sch\u00e9matique, car Zoo<\/strong> fait montre d\u2019une intrigue beaucoup plus travaill\u00e9e et plausible qu\u2019\u00e0 l\u2019accoutum\u00e9e. Le domaine \u00e9tant malheureusement trop pourvu en productions de seconde zone et les r\u00e9f\u00e9rences du genre en litt\u00e9rature sont tr\u00e8s rares (Peter Benchley<\/em>\u2026).<\/p>\n

Aussi, le r\u00e9cit s\u2019apparente davantage \u00e0 un thriller d\u2019anticipation avec une bonne dose de r\u00e9alisme et d\u2019arguments \u00e0 l\u2019appui pour \u00e9tayer ses propos. On nous offre un voyage autour du globe assez \u00e9clectique (Botswana, \u00c9tats-Unis, Russie\u2026) qui permet de se faire une id\u00e9e g\u00e9n\u00e9rale de l\u2019ampleur du \u00ab\u00a0probl\u00e8me\u00a0\u00bb. Un tour d\u2019horizon bienvenu et n\u00e9anmoins trop furtif. Car Zoo<\/strong> est ambitieux\u00a0; peut-\u00eatre un peu trop pour un unique livre. Le sujet, les cons\u00e9quences \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9chelle mondiale, ainsi que les enjeux auraient m\u00e9rit\u00e9 un traitement plus approfondi. Pas forc\u00e9ment en g\u00e9opolitique (ce qu\u2019il tente discr\u00e8tement, \u00e7\u00e0 et l\u00e0), mais sur les cons\u00e9quences d\u2019un tel ph\u00e9nom\u00e8ne.<\/p>\n

Bien s\u00fbr, la structure g\u00e9n\u00e9rale est enlev\u00e9e, le suspense entretenu comme il se doit et les situations assez vari\u00e9es dans l\u2019ensemble. Seulement, on a l\u2019impression de survoler les \u00e9v\u00e9nements sans vraiment s\u2019y impliquer. On a beau multiplier les points de vue (les chapitres concernant uniquement les animaux sont originaux et appropri\u00e9s), jouer sur un ordre temporel assez large (on peut scinder l\u2019intrigue en deux parties distinctes s\u00e9par\u00e9es par 5 ann\u00e9es), c\u2019est comme si on nous offrait une synth\u00e8se acc\u00e9l\u00e9r\u00e9e de faits potentiellement envisageables, rien de plus. En dehors d\u2019un catastrophisme clairement \u00e9tabli, l\u2019atmosph\u00e8re demeure assez froide et d\u00e9tach\u00e9e, pour ne pas dire indiff\u00e9rente et fataliste.<\/p>\n

Une approche sujette \u00e0 discussion qui n\u2019enl\u00e8ve rien \u00e0 la qualit\u00e9 de l\u2019ensemble, mais qui nuance les \u00e9motions suscit\u00e9es et les id\u00e9es v\u00e9hicul\u00e9es. Fort heureusement, on ne se retrouve pas dans un pamphlet pro-\u00e9cologiste qui prend le pas sur l\u2019histoire. Les r\u00e9alit\u00e9s scientifiques sont respect\u00e9es et les justifications trouv\u00e9es s\u2019av\u00e8rent aussi singuli\u00e8res que plausibles. En cela, la construction du livre laisse \u00e0 penser \u00e0 une enqu\u00eate polici\u00e8re minutieuse o\u00f9 il faut d\u00e9celer les causes et cerner les comportements anormaux pour mieux coincer le coupable. Le passif des deux \u00e9crivains n\u2019est sans doute pas \u00e9tranger \u00e0 un tel traitement.<\/p>\n

Au final, Zoo<\/strong> fait figure d\u2019exception dans la bibliographie de James Patterson<\/em> et Michael Ledwidge<\/em>. En d\u00e9laissant le polar (notamment, la s\u00e9rie Michael Bennett), les deux auteurs d\u00e9tournent avec une certaine habilet\u00e9 les codes du survival animalier au profit d\u2019un thriller d\u2019anticipation r\u00e9ussi dans son ensemble. Rythme excellent, trame convaincante, suspense de rigueur, Zoo<\/strong> a tout pour \u00eatre un ouvrage indispensable si ce n\u2019est qu\u2019il lui manque une atmosph\u00e8re plus percutante. La faute \u00e0 des ambitions \u00e0 moiti\u00e9 atteintes et des \u00e9v\u00e9nements trop nombreux et succincts pour impliquer le lecteur autrement qu\u2019au stade de t\u00e9moin passif. Il n\u2019en reste pas moins un bon livre qui propose une fin du monde plus r\u00e9aliste, nuanc\u00e9e et originale qu\u2019une \u00e9pid\u00e9mie de zombies ou une invasion extraterrestre.<\/p>\n
