PRIMITIVE

Book ID/图书代码: 04221010B35665

English Summary/英文概要: At 44, Sonya Adams is at the top of her game – a fashion model in Denver making a handsome living in catalogue and other consumer ads. Her latest shoot appears as routine as the thousands that have preceded it. But upon her arrival in Montana, a shadowy “neo-primitive” group kidnaps and smuggles her to Terra Firma, their remote, snow-bound community where a bizarre blend of high technology and Stone Age tools allows them to live so far off the grid that they are virtually invisible.

Sonya’s shock becomes horror as the group turns her into an object of worldwide fascination by Podcasting her life at Terra Firma via the Web to the entire planet. Their scheme: To show a woman who epitomizes consumer culture being converted, day-to-day, to their cause. Their goal: To cure modern society of its oil addiction and thereby put a stop to global warming. Their means: announcing that they will reveal a secret CIA report that details a global warming doomsday scenario.

Sonya’s abduction and almost immediate reappearance on the Web triggers a massive manhunt led by an elite, U.S. anti-terrorism task force.

Meanwhile, Sonya finds her very survival at stake in a harsh winter land haunted by the creatures of the wilds, and threatened by a member of the Terra Firma "tribe."

As Sonya plots a terrifying escape, her estranged and volatile daughter — a suspect in Sonya’s kidnapping — launches a harrowing journey through the activist underground to find her mother by any means possible, with grisly and horrifying repercussions.

This intelligent, enthralling, and brutally timely suspense novel turns the “woman in jeopardy” story upside down, along with the notion of what is truly “primitive.”
