诗集三

by Robert L. Slater, Fiberead (Editor), Liu Jing (Translator)

What if death forgot you? In a future that could be ours, Lizzie, a suicidal teen-age girl, barely navigates her own life. Then everything falls apart. In an apocalyptic land nearly deserted by disease, she lacks reasons to live until a shocking turn of events reveals a phone number. Her call pulls her dangerously cross-country to meet a stranger she thought was dead. In a world where there is plenty of food, plenty of gas, plenty of space… fear, anger and a lust for power still control the patterns of human life. 内容简介如果死神忘记了你，将会怎样？丽子是个有自杀倾向的女孩子，自己的生活一片迷茫。有一天，一场死亡率超过百分之九十的瘟疫席卷世界，丽子身边的人接连死去，而她却成了幸存者。她本没有理由再活下去，但是经过一连串事件的诡异转折，她的面前出现了一个电话号码。在她拨通电话后，她决定不顾危险，走过千山万水去见一个她以为已经死了的陌生人。然而，哪怕世界停摆，恐惧、愤怒和对权利的渴望仍然控制着人类的生活。作者简介罗伯特·L·斯雷特（Robert L. Slater），老师、父亲和作家。已出版数本科幻小说。作品聚焦于被瘟疫摧毁后的世界。在荒芜的土地上，普通的年轻人必须创造新的家庭、新的世界。读者评论“本书几乎没有后世界末日小说中的那些熟悉套路——没有僵尸攻击，没有不顾一切重建文明的努力，而仅仅从个体的角度，讲述了一个害怕的女孩与她在世界废墟里发现的幸存者的故事。丽子充满棱角、坚韧不拔，却又脆弱善良。她的个性是如此引人注目，她抓住你的心，拉着你一起读下去。直到凌晨ߍ
