WINGS TO THE KINGDOM

Book ID/图书代码: 12480006B09677

English Summary/英文概要: THE FIELDS AT CHICKAMAUGA, GEORGIA—AMERICA’S OLDEST NATIONAL MILITARY PARK—CLAIMED THIRTY-FIVE THOUSAND CASUALTIES DURING THE CIVIL WAR. Any good guide will tell you that the grounds are haunted. The battlefield even has its own resident haunt, called Old Green Eyes for his telltale luminous gaze. It has long been said that Old Green Eyes intends no harm to those who respect the park. He is no menace, but a guardian of the dead. While he walks, the dead may sleep, secure in the knowledge that their rest will be undisturbed. While Old Green Eyes patrols the battlefield, there is nothing to fear, for graves are not robbed and bones are not moved.
But suddenly a different phenomenon starts puzzling and frightening visitors, causing tours to be canceled and rangers to quit their jobs. These new ghosts are no illusions carved out of the low-rolling fog. One by one, the solemn-faced spirits in ragged uniforms show themselves, and one by one, they point a determined arm off into the distance. Why do the soldiers march again, and what has become of their unblinking custodian? The spirits need a go-between, someone who can speak to them, and for them.
Eden Moore is not interested.
But the ghosts aren’t taking no for an anser.

Chinese Summary/中文概要: 乔治亚州奇克莫加河流域—美国最古老的国家军事公园—在内战期间断送了三万五千条性命。

任何负责的导游都会告诉你公园里闹鬼。那片战场甚至还有昔日的居民出没,他因目光警觉善良而被称作“古老的绿眼睛”。长久以来,人们就传言绿眼睛对那些尊重公园的人不会有恶意。他不对人类构成威胁,只是那些死者的守护人。当他行走的时候,死者就会安眠。他要确保他们的休息不被干扰。绿眼睛巡视战地的时候,人类不必害怕,因为坟墓没有被盗,尸骨也原地未动。

但是,突然间出现了怪异的现象,令游人感到困惑和恐惧,迫使旅游取消,公园管理员失业。这些新来的鬼魅绝不是低沉浓雾中的幻影。那些面色严肃的鬼魂一个个穿着破旧的制服,举着坚定的手臂迈向远处。为什么这些士兵再次行军?他们那位一丝不苟的守护人出现什么状况?鬼魂需要一个中间人,一个可以与他们交流也可以为他们传话的中间人。

伊登.摩尔并不感兴趣。但是鬼魂们的回答是:“不!”(XMM)
