THE DOUBLE HUMAN

Book ID/图书代码: 06830011B46126

English Summary/英文概要: Tom Wilner is a cop. At least what passes for a cop in this shattered world. Plague and nuclear war have left most of the United States uninhabitable. Many have fled to safer zones, forcing what’s left of the government to wall off cities in an attempt to control mass migration. The city of Miami is just one of these contained prison states. Bit it’s the outskirts of this forsaken realm that Tom Wilner calls home.

Amid this chaos, Wilner stumbles into the path of a wild and brutal adversary. Forced to go undercover in the most frightfully ravaged corners of the Miami Quarantine Zone, Wilner uncovers something he hasn’t seen in decades...a serial killer. But this killer’s path is not like any other; he has been active for nearly fifty years without any repercussions. People call him “the Vampire.” Indeed, this serial killer is not human...and neither are his victims.

Chinese Summary/中文概要: 起码在这个支离破碎的世界,汤姆•威尔纳(Tom Wilner)被当成了警察。疫情和核战争的肆虐已经使得美国不能居住。大家都往别处逃命去了,留下政府护城以及掩护人民群众的撤离。迈阿密是多数设有监狱的州之一,却被汤姆称之为家。

在这场混乱中,威尔纳陷入了一场惊险的冒险,身不由己。却也揭露了一个逃逸几十年的连环杀人犯。这个犯人很特别,他至少活了50年可是看不出任何岁月的痕迹,人们因而管他叫吸血鬼。事实上,这个杀人犯是不是常人,那些死在他手上的亡魂也不是。(兼职翻译-XJJ)

About the Author/作者介绍: 詹姆斯•奥尼尔在美国佛罗里达长大,小时候就学习了所有关于他家乡的一切。他曾在执法机构工作了20多年。他对写作的热爱促使他写下了关于佛罗里达州历史的文章,随后以詹姆斯•奥尼尔的名字成功创作了一系列犯罪小说。对于他来说,结合自己对历史的兴趣和佛罗里达的未来以及他自己警察的经历是一件很自然的事情。因此他站在一个特别的角度,预测犯罪的演变趋势,更是佛罗里达州人口和政治问题的趋势。

James O’Neal was raised in Florida, learning all he could about his home state from an early age. He has worked in law enforcement for more than twenty years. His love of writing pushed him first to writing history articles on Florida, then a successful series of crime novels under the name James O. Born . It was natural for him to combine his interest in the history, as well as the future of Florida and his police background to write a police thriller set in the future. He is in a unique position to predict trends not only in the evolution of crime, but in Florida population and state political issues.
