SOMEONE LIKE ME

Book ID/图书代码： 07980006B01648

English Summary/英文概要： In a world torn apart by hatred and fear, only the strongest will survive… Short, fast-paced, and priced to go, this futuristic thriller is Tom Holt at his most compulsively readable. "There was one lying in the road when I got there. She was dead. No need to look up close. You can tell from twenty yards away, when they’re lying like that." Nobody knows where they come from. Nobody knows what they want. The creatures are killing humans for meat, and nobody, it seems, can stop them. Now one man—a hunter by trade—has trapped one of the creatures. Under the ground, they face each other. And only one of them will get out alive.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 奇特生物到處流竄殺人，只是為了取人的肉！人類社會被恐懼和相互憎恨所分裂，不知道敵人從何處來，自己與他人為什麼被殺，只有最強者有可能存活下來…(TT)

About the Author/作者介绍： Tom Holt was born in London in September 1961. At Oxford he studied bar billiards, ancient Greek agriculture and the care and feeding of small, temperamental Japanese motorcycle engines; interests which led him, perhaps inevitably, to qualify as a solicitor and emigrate to Somerset, where he specialised in death and taxes for seven years before going straight in 1995. Now a full-time writer, Tom lives in Somerset, with his wife, one daughter and the unmistakable scent of blood, wafting in on the breeze from the local meat-packing plant. Well known for his acclaimed comic novels, Holt has also published a volume of poetry (at the age of thirteen) and two sequels to E.F. Benson’s Lucia series. These are now out of print. He has also written five historical novels under the name Thomas Holt.
Tom Holt is also the author of such comic fantasy classics as Valhalla, Nothing But Blue Skies, and Snow White and the Seven Samurai.
In 2006, Tom was one of a range of bestselling writers, including Joanna Trollope, Maeve Binchy and Richard Branson, who took part in Quick Reads, a major literacy initiative for World Book Day. For further information visit www.worldbookday.com.
和歐巴馬同一年出生的Tom Holt是英國人，出生於倫敦，但在牛津長大。怪咖成性的他十三歲就出版詩集，卻也和一般八０年代的青年一樣，泡在酒吧的球檯之間，對日本機車小而有氣質的精緻引擎，懷抱著高度興趣，除此之外，他還著迷於古希臘的建築…後來為了謀生，他遷回倫敦近郊討生活，但不甘寂寞的Tom Holt，在那裡再度重新迷上了特殊議題，像是死亡或者稅賦…等等，直到七年後才脫離這些嚴肅討論，走回「人生的正途」。Tom Holt有很多漫畫小說，他也是以此聞名，現在和妻女住在倫敦近郊的他是一個全職作家，除了詩、以及詼諧又聰明絕頂的漫畫小說創作之外，他的另一項寫作天賦是科幻小說，還有奇幻作品，他同時也會以Thomas Holt為筆名，寫歷史小說，目前已經有超過五部以上的作品。他是少數暢銷、有文學天份、玩世不恭、卻又積極參與社會事物的作家，他也與其他英國重量級作家們，如《山楂林的故事》作者Maeve Binchy等人，推動世界書香日的相關活動，其幽默直逼蕭伯納，其對人群的關懷，跟隨馮內果的腳步，作品常發人深省卻又不失趣味。
