The taking. Дин Кунц492 руб
On the morning that will mark the end of the world they have known, Molly and Niel Sloan awaken to the drumbeat of rain. The new thriller from Dean Koontz is a novel of stunning suspense and visceral terror as doomsday dawns. As hours pass they hear news of extreme weather phenomena across the globe. It has haunted their dreams through the night, and now they find an eerily luminous and silver downpour that drenches their small Californian mountain town. By evening, the town has lost all communication with the outside world. An obscuring fog turns once familiar streets into a ghostly labyrinth. The young couple gathers together with some neighbours, sensing a threat they cannot identify or even imagine. First TV and radio go dead, then the Internet and phone lines. The rain diminishes with the dawn but a moody grey-purple twilight prevails. The night brings strange noises, and mysterious lights drift among the trees. Epic in scope, searingly intimate and immediate in its perspective, The Taking is a story of a strangely changed and changing world as apocalypse comes to Main Street. Within the misty gloom the small band will encounter something that reveals in a terrifying instant what is happening to the world -- something that is hunting them with ruthless efficiency. 2010 |
