Звукът на злото
Спайк Халек е на 34 години. Ако вярваме на статистиката за смъртността, остават му още 40 години в тъмнина. Кому, по дяволите, е нужен слепец? Слепецът не може дори да измъкне приспивателни от рафта на аптеката, за да се самоубие...
Но едно телефонно обаждане променя всичко. С убеждение, по-ясно от образите, които някога са виждали очите му, осъзнава,че той е най-добрият, а вероятно и единственият шанс на малката Джейни да оцелее.

About the author
David Lorne
11 booksDavid Lorne is the pen-name for David L. Hoof.
David Hoof attended Cornell University as a Meinig National Scholar, was a member of the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity and majored in chemistry. From Cornell he went on to graduate school in chemistry at Purdue, earning his Ph.D. After Purdue he took a National Science Foundation postdoctoral fellowship at Georgetown University. Subsequent to this he taught briefly at Montgomery College before entering the United States Department of Energy, where he dealt with the reprocessing of nuclear reactor fuel.
Throughout his schooling he became more seriously interested in writing. At Cornell he was captioner for photographs in the Red Key calendar and edited his fraternity’s rush book. The first published work under his own name was a poem in a Purdue literary magazine. Between then and the appearance of his first published novel, Sight Unseen (as David Lorne) in 1990, he contributed articles to several nationally distributed magazines, on subjects as diverse as AIDS and William Shakespeare’s business practices.
In 1990 he left the Department of Energy to spend more time with his children and write full time. Blind Man’s Bluff, a sequel to his first novel, appeared in 1992 following another novel, The Last Prisoner (1991), a cult classic among science fiction readers that dealt with social disintegration following clandestine biological warfare.
