INFO: Le Grand Secret

The book from whence the concept of the numbered ones (3-0-7) comes, apparently.

Just wanted a coherent place to put what we know about the book.

Here's a translated synopsis:
Synopsis
Immortality is one of the greatest phantasms of Humanity. But if it really appeared, at the end of the test-tube of a large Indian scientist? Because immortality, it is quite awkward: these is the virus, perhaps most terrible which ever was discovered. Imagine... A population in exponential growth whereas, on another side, harvests would not mature any more, having also become "immortal". Vis-a-vis the danger, heads of State, concerted in the greatest secrecy, and this in spite of their ideological differences (Barjavel locates the intrigue in full cold war), agree: Mao, Of Gaulle, Kennedy and consortsmettent on foot, for the qulques ones "contomin�s", a base isolated where they will live in closed mud, for... eternity. 20 years after the disappearance of her husband, a woman will find it, unchanged, in this small island-paradise. But here: the young jet set of eternity wants to have children. And to the paradise, the place is limited. The revolt thunders with the paradise... But the great powers have more than one turn in their bag.

Here is another translated synopsis:

Quote:

The GREAT SECRECY , it is the history of a couple separated by an extraordinary event, then joined together in circumstances such as never a man and a woman did not know the similar ones. It is also the history of a mystery which, since 1955, joined together, without the knowledge of all, in a common anguish, over the oppositions of the ideologies and the imperialisms, the heads of the greatest nations.
It is this `` Large Secrecy '' which put an end to the Cold war, which was the cause of the assassination of Kennedy, who makes comprehensible the behavior of Gaulle in May 1968, which made essential the voyages of Nixon to Moscow and Peking. It has nothing to do with the war or the bomb H. It is the secrecy of the greatest fear and the greatest hope of the world. It should not be forgotten that it is a novel. But if it were true?...

Ah, but do Dale and Diana share the same fate as this couple?

I did about 6 hours on the web trying to post a synopsis of this book last week. Translating a slew of different "reviews" and "blurbs". This is what I came up with:

For immortality is awkward. This is a virus, maybe the most terrible one ever discovered. This virus it is that of immortality... and it is contagious!

Imagine... A population in exponential growth while the harvests would not ripen anymore, equally having become "immortal". Facing this danger, the Heads of State (concerted in the greatest secrecy in spite of their ideological differences ) come to an agreement. To avoid the propagation of the plague, the people infected are isolated on an island in the greatest of secrecy where they will live enclosed for... eternity.

In this paradisiac island, two young people's love will transform the life of the island and the fate of the world. They decide to break the interdict and to leave the island.
