Wanderers de Chuck Wendig

Wanderers

Autor Chuck Wendig
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 19 mai 2020
A decadent rock star. A deeply religious radio host. A disgraced scientist. And a teenage girl who may be the world's last hope. From the mind of Chuck Wendig comes "a magnum opus . . . a story about survival that's not just about you and me, but all of us, together" (Kirkus Reviews, starred review). NOMINATED FOR THE BRAM STOKER AWARD - NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY The Washington Post - NPR - The Guardian - Kirkus Reviews - Publishers Weekly - Library Journal - Polygon Shana wakes up one morning to discover her little sister in the grip of a strange malady. She appears to be sleepwalking. She cannot talk and cannot be woken up. And she is heading with inexorable determination to a destination that only she knows. But Shana and her sister are not alone. Soon they are joined by a flock of sleepwalkers from across America, on the same mysterious journey. And like Shana, there are other "shepherds" who follow the flock to protect their friends and family on the long dark road ahead. For as the sleepwalking phenomenon awakens terror and violence in America, the real danger may not be the epidemic but the fear of it. With society collapsing all around them--and an ultraviolent militia threatening to exterminate them--the fate of the sleepwalkers depends on unraveling the mystery behind the epidemic. The terrifying secret will either tear the nation apart--or bring the survivors together to remake a shattered world. Praise for Wanderers"This career-defining epic deserves its inevitable comparisons to Stephen King's The Stand."--Publishers Weekly (starred review) "A suspenseful, twisty, satisfying, surprising, thought-provoking epic."--Harlan Coben, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Run Away "A true tour de force."--Erin Morgenstern, New York Times bestselling author of The Night Circus

"A masterpiece with prose as sharp and heartbreaking as Station Eleven."--Peng Shepherd, author of The Book of M "A magnum opus . . . It reminded me of Stephen King's The Stand--but dare I say, this story is even better."--James Rollins, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Crucible "An inventive, fierce, uncompromising, stay-up-way-past-bedtime masterwork."--Paul Tremblay, author of A Head Full of Ghosts and The Cabin at the End of the World "An American epic for these times."--Charles Soule, author of The Oracle Year

Recenzii

The book parses societal and climate change via a satisfying SF twist
Wanderers is engaging and entertaining. It's uncomfortable to read, but also a timely novel that demands a place in the spotlight. Wendig takes science, politics, horror, and science fiction and blended them into an outstanding story about the human spirit in times of turmoil, claiming a spot on the list of must-read apocalyptic novels while doing so
While Wanderers weighs in at just shy of 800 pages, it's a journey well-worth taking and one readers won't soon forget
If, after all my lavish and effusive praise, you still aren't convinced if you should read Wanderers, let me leave you with this: the book is 800 pages and I read it in two sittings. I forgot to eat. Twice. I sat on the couch enraptured by the story. It's that good. No, it's that incredible
A powerful story about humanity, technology, and the survival of the world. Comparisons to Stephen King's The Stand are warranted, as Wendig shatters the boundaries of speculative and literary fiction...
This career-defining epic deserves its inevitable comparisons to Stephen King's The Stand
This was a wonderful story not just for its vision of a future that could easily become a terrifying reality, but also for its techno feel of today combined with riveting characters fighting against a system that just won't put people first. It had everything. Film deal, anyone?
Wendig is clearly wrestling with some of the demons of our time, resulting in a story that is ambitious, bold, and worthy of attention
Approach Wanderers like it's a primetime television series, along the lines of The Passage [or] Lost... Make Wanderers a summer reading priority; you won't regret it
The world is changing, and we may not survive the changes, but Wendig offers hope in his searing portrayal of the world as it might soon be: a planet that pushes past its own dissolution and keeps the best of humanity intact
It's not easy to write the end of the world. With Wanderers, Chuck Wendig has mastered it
Wendig offers a book that skirts reality with a fine edge that intensifies the horror in ways not seen since Octavia Butler's Parable of the Sower
Wendig's latest stands proudly beside The Stand and Swan Song, offering as many differences as there are passing similarities to those works, showcasing 21st century concerns and points of view that are wholly its own
Wanderers is a few things: a tense mystery; an Outbreak-style medical thriller; a sprawling, Stephen King-esque epic. But mostly it's a book about America right now - and much like America right now, it's a potent blend of fear, confusion, and guarded, fragile hope
At 800 pages, this is a sizeable tome, but it didn't feel like it at all. It's exactly the right length for the story. Nothing dragged or felt like padding. The plot is engaging and well-paced throughout. Wanderers may have been the first fiction I've read by Chuck Wendig but it definitely won't be the last. I'm heading off now to add his entire backlist to my towering TBR
For me, it is an instant classic, an immediate Modern Masterpiece of the genre, and will probably be my favorite 2019 novel, and a book I will hold very high in my pantheon for years to come. So yeah, go out and get the damned book and read it. Highly, highly recommended
Wanderers is OUTSTANDING. Wanderers excites me. You want well-developed characters and complex relationships? Read Wanderers. You want grounded sci-fi that ranks up there with bookstagram faves like #Recursion and #StationEleven? Read Wanderers. You want twists and turns and edge-of-your-seat action? Read Wanderers
As something of a germaphobe, I found its more disturbing elements playing on my mind, but at no point was I going to give up on reading it. If that's not a recommendation I don't know what is
A magnum opus... It reminded me of Stephen King's The Stand - but dare I say, this story is even better
An inventive, fierce, uncompromising, stay-up-way-past-bedtime masterwork
An American epic for these times
Beautiful and harrowing - and timely as hell
With Wanderers, Chuck Wendig levels up - and when you consider the high level he was already writing at, that's saying something
Wanderers is amazing - huge, current, both broad and intensely personal, blending the contemplative apocalypse of Station Eleven with the compulsive readability of the best thrillers
A riveting examination of America
If you ever wanted to know what America's soul might look like, here's its biography
A tsunami of a novel
A defining moment in speculative fiction
Trust me: You're not ready for this book
An astounding adventure
Utterly brilliant and frighteningly plausible
A harrowing portrait of an unravelling America... terrifyingly prophetic
A brilliant, Hollywood-blockbuster of a novel

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:

The highly anticipated paperback edition of the runaway smash thriller of the year.
 
A decadent rock star. A deeply religious radio host. A disgraced scientist. And a teenage girl who may be the world s last hope. From the mind of Chuck Wendig comes an astonishing tapestry of humanity that Harlan Coben calls a suspenseful, twisty, satisfying, surprising, thought-provoking epic.

The story is an epic tapestry of humanity, told in a chorus of disparate voices, including Shana, a young girl who wakes up one morning to discover her sister in the grip of a strange malady. She appears to be sleepwalking. She cannot talk and cannot be woken up. And she is heading with inexorable determination to a destination that only she knows. But Shana and are sister are not alone. Soon they are joined by a flock of sleepwalkers from across America, on the same mysterious journey. And like Shana, there are other "shepherds" who follow the flock to protect their friends and family on the long dark road ahead. For on their journey, they will discover an America convulsed with terror and violence, where this apocalyptic epidemic proves less dangerous than the fear of it.


Wanderers is wonderful a suspenseful, twisty, satisfying, surprising, thought-provoking epic of a novel.
Harlan Coben, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Run Away

Wanderers is a true tour de force, a feat of storytelling strength that remains with you long after the final page is turned."
Erin Morgenstern, New York Times bestselling author of The Night Circus

A magnum opus that grapples with culture, science, faith, and our collective anxiety while delivering an epic equal to Steven King's The Stand...
Kirkus Reviews, starred review  

This career-defining epic deserves its inevitable comparisons to Stephen King s The Stand, easily rising above the many recent novels of pandemic and societal collapse.
Publishers Weekly, starred review

Chuck Wendig s latest, Wanderers, is a magnum opus... epic in scope, yet told with an intimacy that hooked me from the first page. It reminded me of a technological version of Stephen King s The Stand but dare I say, this is even better...
James Rollins, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Crucible 

"With Wanderers, Chuck Wendig levels up and when you consider the high level he was already writing at, that's saying something."
John Scalzi, New York Times bestselling author of The Consuming Fire

[Chuck Wendig] is set to make a significant literary statement in 2019 with this Station 11-esque panorama of a post-apocalyptic America.
