THE 13TH CONTINUUM
Book ID/图书代码： 03540015B81709
English Summary/英文概要： As the world ended, humans built thirteen pods to fill with hand-chosen survivors and dispersed them out to space and deep under the ocean. A thousand years after the Doom, the time has finally come for the last human survivors to return from their remote colonies and recolonize Earth.
The Thirteenth Continuum, buried in the deepest ocean trench on earth, has survived the exile, but they’ve fallen into a dark age under the rule of a tyrannical leader, who has wiped clean all traces of life Before Doom from the human records. When Myra Jackson learns that their colony has eight months of oxygen left, she begins searching for a legend she’s about which she’s heard whispering: a Beacon — an ancient and forbidden device from Before Doom that’s supposed to lead them back to the Surface. Her discovery will lead her to a soldier from another Continuum. Linked together by the Beacons and able to communicate, Myra finds herself falling in love with this mysterious stranger and must ultimately make a choice that will impact the future of mankind.
THE 13TH CONTINUUM has the epic scope of the best contemporary science fiction, like Battlestar Galactica and Star Wars, and the totalitarian claustrophobia of The Handmaid’s Tale and of course, Brave New World. It is filled with thrilling battle sequences, ancient mysteries, compelling characters and an epic, interstellar love triangle.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 世界末日来临，人类建造了13个逃生舱，将人工挑选的幸存者装入其中后把这13个逃生舱分散抛至外太空和深海。世界末日过去了一千年之后，这批人类最后的幸存者即将从远方归来重新在地球上生活。
被深埋在地球上的深海海沟之中的第13号连续区幸存了下来，却落入了一位暴君的统治之下，他已经扫清了末日之前人类记录之中的所有生命迹象。当Myra Jackson得知他们的群体只剩下8个月的氧气时，她开始寻找传说中的“信号”——一个末日前被禁止的古老装置，据说能够带领他们回到海面。她的发现使她认识了来自另一个连续区的一名士兵。他们通过“信号”相连并交流，Myra发现自己爱上了这个神秘的陌生人，最终必须做出一个影响全人类未来的抉择。
这部小说拥有现代最佳科幻作品《太空堡垒卡拉狄加》《星球大战》等一样宏大的叙事背景，体现了《使女的故事》《美丽新世界》的集权主义幽闭恐惧。故事中的战斗场面惊险刺激，蕴藏的秘密古老神秘，人物形象丰满，还描绘了一段史诗般的星际间三角恋情。（LYR）
