Despite some rather depressing scenarios and a bleak future we would all happily avoid, I enjoyed Immortal by Steven Savile. The setting takes place sometime after what is referred to as The Fall, and we are not given a clear picture of just what happened to cause it. But what we do get is a wild ride of an adventure with Temple, as he tries to sort out what is going on and who he is, while protecting the few people he grows close to. Savile’s style pulls you in and keeps you turning pages, not letting up on the intensity of this post-apocalyptic landscape. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
FROM THE BESTSELLING WRITER OF DOCTOR WHO, TORCHWOOD AND PRIMEVAL COMES A BRAND NEW POST-APOCALYPTIC THRILLER - THE WALKING DEAD MEETS THE ROAD "READ IT BEFORE THE END OF THE WORLD!" Kevin J Anderson, international bestselling author of The Dune Prequels, Hellhole and Saga of the Seven Suns A man awakens in a filthy bedroom with no recollection of who he is or how he got there. Seeing an old Gideon bible on a nightstand, he finds a name to call his own - Temple. IMMORTAL is the story of Temple's quest for identity and purpose in a dying, decaying world. He is no romantic knight, no Sir Gawain, he has no sword and no armour, and in this broken world no one he can trust. He turns his back on everyone and everything as he embarks upon the quest for his own Holy Grail, and tempted by demons and gods every step of the way, he must confront the terrible truth about who he is and how he came to wake up in that damned hotel room. He was fashioned in one explosive act of terror, a good man transformed into Death. Temple comes, not upon a pale horse like his eternal brother, but on foot, tired, broken, and sick to the soul. By turns heartbreaking, enlightening, and surreal, British fantasist Steven Savile has created a story that New York Times Best Selling Author T.M. Wright describes as "A story about Death written by a man who has clearly consorted with devils." Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |

Immortal is about a man without an identity, who wakes in a sleazy hotel room and begins a quest to find out who he really is. From a Gideon's bible he finds in the room he takes the name Temple.
For me, it was the journey that made this such an enjoyable read. He's now in a world with silver-eyed dead which Temple comes to think of as The Soulless and he refers to the end of civilization as The Fall.
In his search for a purpose, a thirteen-year-old girl convinces him to save her brother, taken by the Spider Boys. And so it goes.
When Temple reaches his final destination, all is explained, but it's certainly not a happy ending. That's OK. This is a story that doesn't need a happy ending. The tale is gritty, at times gruesome, and Temple is an anti-hero with few endearing qualities.
Published by BadPress, Immortal is available now in both paperback and for the Kindle through Amazon.com.
It's a great read. Highly recommended. ( )
