Wake
Autor Elizabeth Knoxen Limba Engleză Paperback – 3 mar 2016
There are fourteen survivors.
Trapped in by a strange force-field called the 'no-go', cut off from the world outside, they must pull together, bury the dead and face their fears.
Because whatever caused the insanity is still at large. And it hasn't finished with them yet.
Wake is a riveting tour-de-force. A book about extreme events, ordinary people, heroic compassion - and invisible monsters.

Recenzii
One for fans of Stephen King
Wake is a triumph all of its own. Knox writes with a rare psychological acuity about humans under pressure in an intolerable, incomprehensible predicament
Knox keeps the monster off stage and examines the psychological consequences of its depredations on the survivors, subverting the norms of the horror genre and thus making the ambiguous finale all the more startling. Wake reads like a collaboration between Dean Koontz and John Wyndham, rewritten by Margaret Atwood
What starts off as a horror story builds into a taut, psychological sci-fi thriller that is alive to the troubling questions of what happens to humans when civilisation as they know it disintegrates
Elizabeth Knox has the most original and lateral literary mind in New Zealand . . . I steamed through the book; by the end my hair stood of end. I shouted , "Holy shit!" several times
Unflinchingly gory and truly insightful, this stand-out tale of humanity vs horror will keep you up all night
One sunny spring morning, a small community in New Zealand is suddenly overwhelmed by a temporary deadly insanity.
There are fourteen survivors.
Trapped inside a 'No-Go', cut off from the outside world, they must pull together, bury the dead, face their fears - and survive.
Because whatever caused the madness is still at large. And it is hasn't finished with them yet.
Wake is a story of extreme events, ordinary people and invisible monsters.
