Book ID/图书代码： 09320012B59158
English Summary/英文概要： Artifacts. Miseries. Mysteries...
From the moment Horace F. Andrews sees the sign from the bus—a sign with his own name on it— everything changes. The sighting leads him underground, to the House of Answers, a hidden warehouse full of mysterious objects. But there, he only finds questions. What is this curious place? Who are the strange, secretive people who entrust him with a rare and immensely powerful gift? And what is he to do with it?
Horace quickly discovers that nothing is ordinary anymore. From the enormous, sinister man shadowing him, to the gradual mastery of his newfound abilities, to his encounters with Chloe—a girl who has an astonishing talent of her own—Horace follows a path that puts him in the middle of a centuries old conflict between two warring factions.
Horace’s journey leads him and Chloe deep into a place where every decision they make could have disastrous consequences. Most importantly, it links Horace to the Box of Promises and a future he never saw coming.
With an action-packed blend of science fiction and fantasy, Ted Sanders creates a world where everything is more than it seems and where friendship, loyalty and trust have the greatest power of all.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 文物。苦难。神秘……
从贺拉斯•F•安德鲁斯在公汽上看到一个写着他名字的标志 起，一切都在改变。标志带领他从地下通道到达答案之家——一个充满神秘事物的隐藏仓库。但是，他在那里只发现了问题。这个奇怪的地方是哪里？把这个罕见和无比强大的礼物委托给他的神秘人是谁？他要做些什么？
贺拉斯很快发现所有事情都不普通了。从跟随他的那个巨大邪恶的人，到逐步掌握他新发现的能力，到他与克洛伊的相遇——一个拥有惊人天赋的女孩——贺拉斯跟随的轨道将他置于交战双方百年之久的冲突的中间位置。
贺拉斯的旅程将他和克洛伊深深地带入一个境地，以至于他们做出的决定可能带来灾难性的后果。最重要的是，它将贺拉斯和“承诺的盒子”以及他看不见的未来连接起来。
科幻和幻想动感十足的交融， 特德•桑德斯创建了一个世界，在那里一切都不是表面看起来的那样，在那里友谊，忠诚和信任有最伟大的力量。(LNL)
