No Man's Land: John Puller Series

Autor David Baldacci
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 24 iul 2017

În No Man's Land, vocea narativă a lui David Baldacci capătă o nuanță profund personală, mutând accentul de pe procedurile militare riguroase spre fragilitatea memoriei și a legăturilor de familie. Apreciem modul în care autorul construiește o punte peste trei decenii de tăcere, transformând o investigație de rutină într-o confruntare dureroasă cu propriul trecut. Găsim în acest volum o structură duală fascinantă: pe de o parte, efortul lui John Puller de a-și reabilita tatăl — un titan al armatei acum vulnerabil în fața demenței — și, pe de altă parte, odiseea întunecată a lui Paul Rogers, un om transformat în „monstru” de experimentele din umbră. Atmosfera te trimite cu gândul la Up Country de Nelson DeMille, prin tema reîntoarcerii la o crimă veche de zeci de ani, deși David Baldacci marchează o voce proprie prin modul în care integrează dinamica dintre frații Puller. Dacă în The Sixth Man sau The Escape miza era adesea siguranța națională, aici conflictul este unul interior, o căutare a adevărului despre mama dispărută care redefinește identitatea protagonistului. Ritmul este susținut de o tensiune mocnită, specifică romanului polițist contemporan, unde marea provocare nu este doar capturarea unui vinovat, ci înțelegerea modului în care timpul alterează faptele și oamenii.

Descriere scurtă

After his father is accused of murder, combat veteran and Special Agent John Puller must investigate his past and learn the truth about his mother in thisNew York Timesbestselling thriller--but someone hiding in the shadows wants revenge.

Two men. Thirty years.

John Puller's mother, Jackie, vanished thirty years ago from Fort Monroe, Virginia, when Puller was just a boy. Paul Rogers has been in prison for ten years. But twenty years before that, he was at Fort Monroe. One night three decades ago, Puller's and Rogers' worlds collided with devastating results, and the truth has been buried ever since.

Until now.

Military investigators, armed with a letter from a friend of Jackie's, arrive in the hospital room of Puller's father-a legendary three-star now sinking into dementia-and reveal that Puller Sr. has been accused of murdering his wife.

Aided by his brother Robert Puller, an Air Force major, and Veronica Knox, who works for a shadowy U.S. intelligence organization, Puller begins a journey that will take him into his own past, to find the truth about his mother.

Paul Rogers' time is running out. With the clock ticking, he begins his own journey, one that will take him across the country to the place where all his troubles began: a mysterious building on the grounds of Fort Monroe. There, thirty years ago, the man Rogers had once been vanished too, and was replaced with a monster. And now the monster wants revenge. And the only person standing in his way is John Puller.

When Puller's friend, intelligence operative Veronica Knox, arrives on the scene, he realizes that there is far more to this case than he first thought. He knows that nothing will prevent him from discovering what really happened to his mother - even if it means proving that his father is a killer. .

Harbouring a dark past that changed him in unimaginable ways, Rogers embarks on a journey across the country, set on a path of revenge against the people who took away his humanity. As both men uncover a trail of deception that stretches back decades, they soon realize that the truth will bind them together in ways they could never have imagined.
