HUNTER

Book ID/图书代码: 06540515B78735

English Summary/英文概要: They came after the Diseray. Some were terrors ripped from our collective imaginations, remnants of every mythology across the world. And some were like nothing anyone had ever dreamed up, even in their worst nightmares.

Monsters.
Long ago, the barriers between our world and the Otherworld were ripped open, and it’s taken centuries to bring back civilization in the wake. Now, the luckiest Cits live in enclosed communities, behind walls that keep them safe from the hideous monsters fighting to break through. Others are not so lucky.
To Joyeaux Charmand, who has been a Hunter in her tight-knit mountain community since she was a child, every Cit without magic deserves her protection from dangerous Othersiders. Then she is called to Apex City, where the best Hunters are kept to protect the most important people.

Joy soon realizes that the city’s powerful leaders care more about luring Cits into a false sense of security than protecting them. More and more monsters are getting through the barriers, and the close calls are becoming too frequent to ignore. Yet the Cits have no sense of how much danger they’re in—to them, Joy and her corp of fellow Hunters are just action stars they watch on TV.

When an act of sabotage against Joy takes an unbearable toll, Joy uncovers a terrifying conspiracy in the city. There is something much worse than the usual monsters infiltrating Apex. And it may be too late to stop them...

Chinese Summary/中文概要: 它们尾随迪瑟雷而来。有些是我们共同的想象中衍生出来的可怕事物,是世界各地神话传说的残余产物。而另一些则仿佛是我们谁也不曾梦见过的,即便是最可怕的噩梦中也从未出现。

一群怪物。

很久很久以前,我们的世界与另一个世界之间的屏障被撕裂打开,耗费了数个世纪之久,我们才得以从那次灾难的余波中重新建立起文明。如今,最幸运的城市们在封闭的社区内得以幸存,保护墙得以保护他们不受外界猛兽们的不断攻击。然而其他城市则不似他们这般幸运。

生活在团结的山区社区的乔伊诺•查蒙德自小便是一名捕猎者,每一个没有魔力保护的城市都可以在她的保护下不受危险的外部世界的侵扰。很快她便被召集到了阿派克斯城,在那里聚集了最优秀的捕猎者,以保护最重要的人类。

乔伊很快便意识到对于城市的权利领导者们而言,比起保护他们,他们更在乎的是使得城市进入一种安全的假象之中。越来越多的怪物正穿过屏障,每每的千钧一发,死里逃生已经让他们麻木。尽管如此,城市居民还是没有意识到它们究竟正置身于怎样的危险之中----对于他们而言,乔伊和她的捕猎者同伴们只不过是他们在电视上才会看见的动作明星。直到一次内部的颠覆行为对乔伊和她的伙伴们造成了巨大的损失,乔伊才揭开了城市里悄然进行的一场可怕的阴谋。比起正在入侵阿派克斯的怪兽们,还有某个更可怕的东西正悄然渗入阿派克斯。更糟糕的是,或许阻止他们如今已为时已晚。。。。。。(DC)

Awards/获奖情况:“Lackey successfully mixes dystopia and fantasy…exciting, entirely entertaining.” —Publishers Weekly

’’Armed with wit as quick as her reflexes, her magic, and her equally enchanting Hounds, Joyeaux embarks on a journey that sets her questioning the motives of every person she comes in contact with as well as the larger system that was built to keep people protected. Lackey builds this magically post-apocalyptic world briskly…Joyeaux’s narration is spellbinding, the prose easily balancing the technology of the future with the traditions of the past. Captivating, dynamic, well paced, and thrilling.’’ --Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
