Book ID/图书代码: 06580011B50036
English Summary/英文概要: "Film rights have been bought by Legendary Pictures, the company behind such blockbusters as The Dark Knight Rises, Inception and Watchmen."
Revivers. Able to wake the recently dead, and let them bear witness to their own demise. Twelve years after the first reviver came to light, they have become accepted by an uneasy public. The testimony of the dead is permitted in courtrooms across the world. Forensic revival is a routine part of police investigation.
In the United States, that responsibility falls to the Forensic Revival Service. Despite his troubled past, Jonah Miller is one of their best. But while reviving the victim of a brutal murder, he encounters a terrifying presence. Something is watching. Waiting. His superiors tell him it was only in his mind, a product of stress. Jonah isn’t so certain.
Then Daniel Harker, the first journalist to bring revival to public attention, is murdered, and Jonah finds himself getting dragged into the hunt for answers. Working with Harker’s daughter Annabel, he becomes determined to find those responsible and bring them to justice. Soon they uncover long-hidden truths that call into doubt everything Jonah stands for, and reveal a threat that if not stopped in time, will put all of humanity in danger . . .
Chinese Summary/中文概要: Reviver: 復甦者,他們是秘密的地下組織,一群能使亡者復甦的探員。他們有特殊能力可以暫時復活死者並喚醒生前的片刻記憶,令死得不明不白的亡魂告訴探員誰殺了他們。
自從12年前,Reviver的行動被媒體曝光後,他們所作所為漸漸被社會大眾接受。Reviver的運作系統多次成功逮捕犯人,在世界各地的司法系統也漸漸能受理並允許這些早已死去多時亡魂的「遺言」作為法庭上的證據,甚至連警方都靠他們來查無法破獲的案子。
Reviver在美國更成為官方組織,其中Jonah Miller是當中最厲害的探員之一。對於每一具陰陽兩隔的亡者,Jonah的工作就是為他們伸張正義。但是這一次當他復活一位慘遭屠殺的女性受害者,他卻看見除了亡者以外其他更陰暗、冷峻恐怖的異像正在凝視著他,彷彿死神向他招手。
不久後,第一位報導Reviver這個組織使他們曝光的記者Daniel Harker慘遭殺害,Jonah被迫接下任務並試圖喚醒Daniel,沒想到這一次招喚靈魂卻使所有人陷入極度的危險邊緣…
