    The book, written by Jacques Lob and illustrated by Jean-Marc Rochette, has two follow-ups written by Benjamin Legrand and the final part, Terminus, a 2015 release by Olivier Bocquet.

    Director Bong Joon-Ho adapted the first book into a sci-fi film starring Chris Evans, called Snowpiercer, which released in 2013.
