LAGOON

Book ID/图书代码: 06400013B66912

English Summary/英文概要: A star falls from the sky. A woman rises from the sea. The world will never be the same.

Three strangers, each isolated by his or her own problems: Adaora, the marine biologist. Anthony, the rapper famous throughout Africa. Agu, the troubled soldier. Wandering Bar Beach in Lagos, Nigeria’s legendary mega-city, they’re more alone than they’ve ever been before.

But when something like a meteorite plunges into the ocean and a tidal wave overcomes them, these three people will find themselves bound together in ways never imagined. Together with Ayodele, a visitor from beyond the stars, they must race through Lagos and against time itself in order to save the city, the world... and themselves.

’There was no time to flee. No time to turn. No time to shriek. And there was no pain. It was like being thrown into the stars.’

Chinese Summary/中文概要: 一颗星星从天空中陨落。一名女子从海平面上隐现。世界从此将不再一如从前。

三名毫不相干的陌生人,拥有着各自的烦恼:阿朵拉是一名海洋生物学家。安东尼是一名在非洲十分著名的说唱歌手。阿古则是一名有着心理问题的士兵。游走在尼日利亚的传奇大都市--拉各斯的酒吧海滩之上,他们却比任何的时刻都更加孤单。

然而当一颗流星似的物体坠入海面,并掀起了一股将三人吞没的巨浪,从此三人的命运也就此以一种谁也无法想象的方式紧密的联系在了一起。他们同时与阿尤黛儿--外星访客一起在拉各斯与时间赛跑,为了拯救这座城市、这个世界。。。。。。以及他们自己。

没有时间逃离,没有时间回头,没有时间尖叫,同时也没有痛苦。仿若他们被投诸于星星上一般。(DC)
