English Summary/英文概要： On the mysterious island of Nil, the rules are set. You have exactly 365 days to escape—or you die.

Seventeen-year-old Charley doesn’t know the rules. She doesn’t even know where she is. The last thing she remembers is blacking out, and when she wakes up, she’s naked in an empty rock field.

Lost and alone, Charley finds no sign of other people until she meets Thad, the gorgeous leader of a clan of teenage refugees. Soon Charley learns that leaving the island is harder than she thought . . . and so is falling in love. With Thad’s time running out, Charley realizes that she has to find a way to beat the clock, and quickly, in this thrilling debut novel by Lynne Matson.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 在神秘的尼尔岛上，一切规则早已设定。你将拥有一年的时间逃离，否则等待你的便是死亡。

17岁的查莉并不知道这一规则。她甚至不知道自己究竟身在何处。她最近的记忆便是自己昏了过去，而当她醒来时，她便已经赤裸的身处一片空荡荡的岩地之上。查莉既迷茫又孤独，在岛上她看不到任何人的踪迹，直到她遇到了塔德，一名迷人的青少年逃难者团体的领导者。很快查莉便意识到了离开这座小岛远比她所想象的要难得多，与此同时还有她的爱恋。随着塔德的时间所剩无几，查莉意识到自己必须在一切结束之前找到方法，在这部来自莉莲•马特森的处女作品中，一切都将急速旋转着。（DC）

Awards/获奖情况：马特森以这样一部紧张、危机四伏的孤岛逃生之作昭示了她在文学界的首次登台，这部作品会让许多读者不由得闪回到电视剧集《迷失》的许多精彩片段中。一个神秘的传送门将17岁的查莉送到了一座或许有意识，同时又有些反复无常的尼尔岛上，在那里她同样遇到了一群被偷运来的青少年们。尽管谜团四起，一切都还充满着不确定性，查莉还是很快的学会了最为重要的一条原则：她有一年的时间去找到那扇传送门并重新踏上回家之路（这些“门”总是随意的出现或消失），否则等待她的将是死亡。当查莉爱上了英俊的塔德，并且塔德的死期即将到来，她必须在爱情和生存之间做出选择，并且谁也无法就此做出任何保证。马特森对于细节的关注与充满技巧的人物性格描绘使得整个故事的节奏感更为强烈，榆次想融合的还有美、恐惧、浪漫以及冒险等诸多元素。一群青春活力、足智多谋的青少年，加上郁郁葱葱又充满着死亡气息的小岛，这部作品散发出一股诱人之气，而叙述过程中的心理复杂性加之以完全出人意料的结果，再配上缓缓铺成开来的信息，使得本书无疑为一部天才之作。本书适合14岁以上儿童及成人。代理人:詹妮弗•昂特, the Unter Agency.(3月)

Still on Nil after the shocking dual escape of both Thad and Charley, Rives is the undisputed Leader of Nil City. But keeping the City united is tougher than ever.

Raiders have grown bolder, City supplies are dwindling, and the non-human inhabitants have taken a definite toward the deadly. New arrivals cause rifts within the City, putting the Search system at risk, and calling everything Rives knows into question: the island, his humanity, and his heart. Rives’s desperate thirst for understanding is rivaled only by Skye’s, a new arrival with a mysterious past of her own. Soon they find themselves locked in a desperate race to save all the residents of Nil at once—and destroy the island of Nil forever. But at what cost?

Told from the dual viewpoints of Rives and Skye, NIL UNLOCKED offers a stunning continuation to the story begun in NIL. Questions are answered even as favorite characters are both tested and lost, and fans of NIL and LOST will be glued to the pages until the last one is turned.

In this companion to Nil (2014), fiercely resourceful Skye inherits her uncle’s decades-old journal and learns of his time on Nil, a tropical island that grabs teens through portals, holding them captive for exactly 365 days: they then have to catch an outgoing portal or die when the year is over. Alternating chapters from new arrival Skye and Nil’s current leader, Rives, deliver predictable romance, rich backstory including the indigenous people’s mythology, and a grand scheme to rescue all Nil’s captive teens.
Readers will appreciate a portrait of a successful teen society that bands together to save one another.- Debbie Carton
