BLADES OF WINTER: A NOVEL OF THE SHADOWSTORM
Book ID/图书代码： 01240012B52872
English Summary/英文概要： In one of the most exciting debuts in years, G. T. Almasi has fused the intricate cat-and-mouse games of a John le Carré novel with the brash style of comic book superheroes to create a kick-ass alternate history that reimagines the Cold War as a clash of spies with biological, chemical, and technological enhancements. Nineteen-year-old Alix Nico, a self-described “million-dollar murder machine,” is a rising star in ExOps, a covert-action agency that aggressively shields the United States from its three great enemies: the Soviet Union, Greater Germany, and the Nationalist Republic of China. Rather than risk another all-out war, the four superpowers have poured their resources into creating superspies known as Levels.
Alix is one of the hottest young American Levels. That’s no surprise: Her dad was America’s top Level before he was captured and killed eight years ago. But when an impulsive decision explodes—literally—in her face, Alix uncovers a conspiracy that pushes her to her limits and could upset the global balance of power forever.
For it seems her father may still be alive, a prisoner of the Germans, handed over to them by a traitor in ExOps—a traitor who will stop at nothing to see Alix dead as well.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 近年来最让人激动的处女作之一，G. T. Almasi解读了John le Carré复杂的警匪战，以漫画英雄般的骄傲方式创造了一个了不起的历史场景，让人回想起冷战，生物化学，技术提升时间谍们的一系列交锋。
自称是“百万悬赏的杀人机器” ，19岁的Alix Nico是在ExOps的一颗新星超级间谍，保卫着美国，对抗她的三大劲敌：苏联，德国和中国。并非是一场你死我活的大战，四个超级大国用尽全力培养被称为Levels的超级间谍。
Alix 是美国Levels炙手可热的年轻力量。这并不奇怪：她的父亲曾经是美国顶尖Level，8年前被害。Alix 发现了一个阴谋，这使她坚定了意志，激发了她的潜能，并试图改变世界列强间的力量平衡。
她的父亲可能仍然活着，他被ExOps的叛徒出卖，囚禁于德国。而ExOps的成员也许会竭尽全力杀死Alix。(XAT)
