Description

The Deprat Affair by Roger Osbourne

A story of Ambition, Revenge and Deceit in French Indo-China. A straightforward case of scientific fraud; a conspiracy of envoy and revenge against a brilliant young scientist; or the destruction of one individual for a "crime" that was never committed ? The story centres on one compelling individual-Jacques Deprat. En route to a golden future as one of France’s greatest geologists, he is suddenly accused of fraud and plunged into a desperate fight to save his reputation. Convicted of placing European fossils among samples collected in Indo-China, he is dismissed from his job, and expelled from the Societe Geologique de France. Thrown out of the science to which he has given everything, he re-invents himself, changes his name, and begins not one, but two fascinating lives-each as extraordinary and colourful as the one he left behind. And even in the manner of his premature death, Deprat proved his ability to shake the world.
