Sylvain Tristan is a secondary school and university English teacher living in Chambéry in the French Alps. He has also lived in New York and Moscow.​

      His book Numbers of the Gods (out on October 31, 2016) is his first essay in English. His theory of a secret, unbroken chain of knowledge kept by Druidic Initiates for millenia challenges conventional history, just like the idea that numbers 366, 40 and 10 are the signature of a Great Architect (whoever this Architect might be — God, aliens, the natural harmony of the universe, etc.) revolutionises human philosophy.

      Although the author is fond of mysteries and enigmas he is also a skeptic who thinks science is the only way to solve them. As a former magician he condemns pseudoscience of all kinds.

His first book, Les Lignes d'or (The Golden Lines), was published in France in 2005. In it he argues that all of the world's ancient capitals are located on Earth meridians and parallels belonging to the age-old, 366-degree geometry rediscovered a few years earlier by his friend and fellow writer Alan Butler.​ In his second essay, Atlantide, premier empire européen, (Atlantis, First European Empire), published in 2007, Tristan contends that the myth of Atlantis is based upon real events occurring around the time Stonehenge was built.

      His first novel in English, The Divine Number (2012), is available on Kindle.
