Amazon.com Review
Swan Song is rich with such characters as an ex-wrestler named Black Frankenstein, a New York City bag lady who feels power coursing from a weird glass ring, a boy who claws his way out of a destroyed survivalist compound. They gather their followers and travel toward each other, all bent on saving a blonde girl named Swan from the Man of Many Faces. Swan Song is often compared to Stephen King's The Stand, and for the most part, readers who enjoy one of the two novels, will enjoy the other. Like The Stand, it's an end-of-the-world novel, with epic sweep, apocalyptic drama, and a cast of vividly realized characters. But the tone is somewhat different: The good is sweeter, the evil is more sadistic, and the setting is harsher, because it's the world after a nuclear holocaust. Swan Song won a 1988 Bram Stoker Award for Best Novel. It's a monster of a horror book, brimming over with stories and violence and terrific imagery--God and the Devil, the whole works. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
Review
"Compelling.... A long, satisfying look at hell and salvation." -- Publishers Weekly
"A wild ride into terror.... A grand and disturbing adventure." -- Dean R. Koontz
Product Description
“We’re about to cross the point of no return. God help us; we’re flying in the dark and we don’t know where the hell we’re going.”
Facing down an unprecedented malevolent enemy, the government responds with a nuclear attack. America as it was is gone forever, and now every citizen—from the President of the United States to the homeless on the streets of New York City—will fight for survival.
Swan Song is Robert McCammon’s prescient and “shocking” (John Saul) vision of a post- Apocalyptic nation, a grand epic of terror and, ultimately, renewal.
In a wasteland born of rage and fear, populated by monstrous creatures and marauding armies, earth’s last survivors have been drawn into the final battle between good and evil, that will decide the fate of humanity: Sister, who discovers a strange and transformative glass artifact in the destroyed Manhattan streets . . . Joshua Hutchins, the pro wrestler who takes refuge from the nuclear fallout at a Nebraska gas station . . . And Swan, a young girl possessing special powers, who travels alongside Josh to a Missouri town where healing and recovery can begin with Swan’s gifts. But the ancient force behind earth’s devastation is scouring the walking wounded for recruits for its relentless army, beginning with Swan herself. . . .

評分Swan Song是一部長篇巨著。 整個讀書的過程讓人一直感覺到很壓抑,從核戰爭爆發的那一刻起就再也沒有太陽,沒有和風細雨,沒有春夏鞦鼕,沒有色彩,沒有溫暖。。。有的隻是無盡的寒鼕,塵灰籠罩的灰濛濛的天空,冷雨,毫無生機的枯木,餓狼。。。變態的垂死掙紮的生命,死亡,...
圖書標籤: Robert_McCammon 科幻 外國文學 小說 美國 懸疑 RobertMcCammon 英文版
從故事設計,人物命名,多視角敘事方式看,總覺得斯蒂芬金和羅伯特有一腿
評分因為a boy's life,所以選擇瞭Swan Song, 據說這是Robert McCammon的巔峰之作。完全不同的題材,正在閱讀中,864頁,工作量真不小啊......
評分這書前三分一值四、五星,令人欲罷不能,但越後越多的簡單基督教正邪對立,蠢得不可思議的「魔鬼」,不知到底最終有何作用的神奇道具等等,實在令人失望。虎頭蛇尾,可惜瞭那麽好的開頭部分。
評分比老金那本末日逼近好看太多瞭
