AND DARKNESS FELL
Book ID/图书代码： 12580015B82607
English Summary/英文概要： It’s the undetermined but near future. America’s population is plunging, beset by a mysterious plague that robs individuals of their mental faculties before causing catastrophic respiratory failure. One by one, the institutions of society are also failing. Electric power, media, and law enforcement have become nearly nonexistent. Only a small force, of military origin but exhibiting strange behavior and superhuman abilities, seems to be functioning.
Amid this dark and disturbing world, former soldier Alan Moss, who remains unaffected by the disease, struggles to survive the roving bands of murderous thugs—of both sexes—who are preying on the dead and dying. As he undertakes a thousand-mile drive from his home in Orlando to his mother’s farm in western Pennsylvania, the highways become concrete battlefields that expose him to horrors he had not encountered even during his difficult military service. Along the way he hooks up with Reed McCallum, an ex-schoolteacher and recent victim of a mugging; and Brooke Fields, a nurse who has left the disintegrating medical system at Walter Reed Army Hospital. Together, the trio faces danger at every turn.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 故事发生在不远的脆弱未来。美国的人口大幅度缩水，一场神秘的瘟疫从四处侵袭，首先是夺走个体的神经功能，随后便是引发致命的呼吸障碍。社会的各类机构都一个接着一个的沦陷了。电力、媒体，以及司法执行几乎都荡然无存。似乎只有一小股拥有军事背景，但同时又行为怪异，拥有超能力的势力团体还在正常运作着。在这个黑暗、紧张的世界里，前士兵阿兰•摩斯并没有受到疾病的影响，但他却要努力从一群四处流窜的凶残暴徒手下幸免，这群有男有女的暴徒群体专门追杀死者和将死之人。阿兰开启了一段长达一千公里的公路之旅，从他位于奥兰多的家，到他母亲在宾夕法尼亚西部的农场，高速公路已然演变成混凝土战场，在这场公路之行中他所遭遇的恐慌，甚至超越了最困难的军队服役时期。在这途中，他认识了瑞德•马克勒姆，瑞德之前是一名学校教师，近期也刚惨遭歹徒；以及离开了沃尔特•瑞德•军区医院，离开了支离破碎医疗系统的护士布鲁克•菲尔德。就这样，三个人开始一起面对一场场突如其来的危险。（DC）
