Book ID/图书代码: 06840014B71189
English Summary/英文概要: In Wild Angel, Sarah sits by the river with her mother, watching her father pan for gold. The calm of the California hills is broken by a rifle shot, the start of an ambush that leaves Sarah’s parents murdered and scalped and forces the threeyearold to flee into the woods. Hungry, cold, and terribly lost, she is rescued by a shewolf named Wauna, who feeds Sarah as if she were one of her own pups. As Sarah grows up among the wolves, she will tame the wilderness, and her adventures—chronicled by a writer named Max Merriwell—will make her a legend of the frontier.
Unlike the hero of Wild Angel, the women of Adventures in Time and Space with Max Merriwell do not expect danger when they set off on their journey.
But when Pat and Susan’s cruise ship sails into the Bermuda Triangle, reality begins to twist. As supernatural creatures menace the ship, these two wouldbe vacationers will have no choice but to hang on for the ride.
Chinese Summary/中文概要: 两部冒险小说:一部以(密西西比河以西地区) 山区为背景,另一部穿越百慕大三角。
在《狂野天使》中,莎拉和妈妈坐在河边,看着爸爸淘金。一声枪响打破了加州山区的平静,一场伏击开始了,莎拉的父母被谋杀,头皮被剥掉,三岁的莎拉被迫逃进了树林。饥饿、寒冷和极度的迷失,她被一只名叫瓦纳的母狼救了出来,这只母狼像喂养自己的幼崽一样喂养萨拉。随着萨拉在狼群中长大,她将征服荒野,她的冒险经历——由一位名叫马克斯·梅里韦尔的作家记录——将使她成为拓荒界的传奇人物。
与《狂野天使》中的男主角不同,《时空奇遇记》中的女主人公麦克斯·梅里韦尔在出发时并不认为会有危险。但当帕特和苏珊的游轮驶进百慕大三角时,现实开始发生变化。由于超自然生物威胁着这艘船,这两个想要去度假的人将别无选择,只能坚持下去。(Sandy)
Awards/获奖情况:“This new tale of an orphaned girl adopted by wolves in midnineteenthcentury California is an even wilder mix, with elements of mystery, western, and fantasy/adventure, as filtered through the feminine sensibility of Mary Maxwell...provides the reader with a riproaring good time.” Locus
“An engaging summer read.” Publishers
Weekly, on Wild Angel
“A solid adventure tale.” Booklist,
on Wild Angel
“A very entertaining feminist version of the Tarzan story...a charming adventure.” The
Denver Post, on Wild Angel
“[A] cerebral equivalent of a rollercoaster
ride... In addition to literate science fiction fans with a sense of humor, this goodnatured
romp should appeal to those whose tastes run to the metafictional.”Publishers Weekly
“Murphy...completes her triptych of novels that pays homage to classic tales of adventure and whimsy with an eerie mystery that recalls the works of Lewis Carroll and the theories of quantum physics. Highly recommended for science fiction collections.” Library Journal
“Smart, funny, thoroughly addictive, Murphy’s jaunt is reminiscent of
Connie Willis’ lighter work.” Booklist
“As promised last time out, Murphy ties together both of her latest books in this quasimetafiction involving the I Ching, parallel universes, wolves, personal growth, literary games, and what all...Amusing...and well handled.” Kirkus
