CLOUD WARRIOR
Book ID/图书代码: 05B00969
English Summary/英文概要: In the year 2015, a nuclear war destroys the world as we know it. Now, in the year 2989, the human race is split into two groups - the Trackers, members of the highly-advanced Amtrak Federation who live in underground cities to escape the radiation of the outside world and dream of rebuilding America as it once was; and the primitive Mutes (short for mutants), who live on the surface and have adapted to the radiation in the atmosphere. The Amtrak Federation, with its lethal technology, is hell-bent on exterminating the Mutes but the Mutes possess magical powers that make them a match for the Trackers. Steve Brickman, a Tracker, joins the air wing of the Federation, but while on a mission he is shot down and captured by Mutes, who make him realise that not everything the rulers of the Federation say is true. Very interesting, especially as it describes the world from the view of both sides - it certainly makes you want to finish the series.
Chinese Summary/中文概要: 在2015年,一場眾所周知的核戰爭摧毀的世界。現在,在2989年,人類分裂成兩派 –曾經夢想重建美國的,為逃避外界的輻射生活在高度發達的美鐵的聯邦成員在地下城市的追蹤者;以及那些住在地球上能適應在大氣中輻射生存的天生的啞人(突變體),美鐵聯邦政府,以其致命的技術,執意地要剷除這些啞人,但啞人卻擁有一種神奇的力量,使他們可以匹敵城市的追蹤者。Steve Brickman,一個追蹤者,加入了聯邦航空聯隊,但當他在執行一次任務時被啞人擊落並被俘虜時,這些啞人使他意識到,不是所有的聯邦官員說的都是實話。尤其有趣的是,作者從故事中雙方的視角來描述這樣一個世界 —肯定讓你想要一口氣看完這部科幻小說系列。(Sandy)

About the Author/作者介绍: Patrick Tilley (born July 4, 1928) is a British science fiction author best known for The Amtrak Wars series of books - a futureworld epic set on the eve of the third millennium in a world emerging from the ravages of a dimly understood global holocaust. The name "Amtrak" - appropriated by a specific group of survivors - is a name remembered from what is called "The Old Time". Contrary to what has been suggested, the author, his literary agents, and publishers have never been contacted by the current Amtrak organisation over an infringement of copyright.
