Desolation Run Copertina rigida – 16 maggio 2023
Opzioni di acquisto e componenti aggiuntivi
70-something Oreny "Big" Johnson has a problem. Actually, he has two. Or maybe three. The first is that he'll be dead from cancer, less than a year, which doesn't particularly concern him: "Things I've been through, dying is just one more page in a long bad book." But spending his last living days, taking his last living breath, behind steel bars does.
That's the second problem: Inmate #78903 in the notorious level-four Washington State prison known as Horseneck Bay. Then there's the money. Two million dollars of stolen military payroll, supposedly buried in some remote and mysterious south-Texas mountain range called Los Despoblados, or The Uninhabited, which sounds to Oreny like one of those places his Mama Maybell always told him to avoid. But he'll worry about that later. He has to get there first. Problem number three.
That's when he brings those two smoldering dynamite sticks he's attached himself to--his Luke-boy and Jaime--on board to help his tired old body break out of Horseneck and go dig up that money and then hightail it across the border into Mexico. And when they do break out, and Luke decides to bring his girlfriend Lauren along, and her enraged ex comes after them, and then the manhunt starts multiplying faster around them than those cancer cells inside him, Oreny still thinks he can control them. The problems, that is. At least, until Cade arrives.
Cade, the prison investigator Oreny knows is dangerous and unpredictable as a six-foot-two wolverine on eight gallons of adrenalin gone bad. And who won't stop until he catches them and does to them what Cade does best. Cade, Oreny knows better than anything else, is their biggest problem of all...
"Simultaneously brutal, bloody and beatific, this is crime fiction done right. A relentlessly paced, unpredictable page-turner powered by well-developed characters." Kirkus Reviews

5,0 su 5 stelle The Coen brothers ought to make a film of this...
Formato: Formato KindleAcquisto verificatoThis is a hard-as-nails, yet on occasion lyrically well-written, tense modern thriller. The general atmosphere reminded me very much of Cormac McCarthy’s/The Coen Brothers’ ‘No Country For Old Men’. There’s a lot of bleakness, well-described scenery, good characterisation, convincing dialogue and a twisting plot. There’s even a touch of mysticism, too. Beware (as some reviewers have mentioned), there’s lots of bad language, sex, and graphic violence. But to me, none of these things seems out of place with the author’s great writing style and plotting. Highly recommended – a real page-turner (or button-clicker, in Kindle world!)

5,0 su 5 stelle My Highest Praise for your literary accomplishment, Mr. Snyder, and I am eager to read MORE!
Formato: Formato KindleAcquisto verificatoI don't review most of the books I read by relatively new, or "up and coming" authors, because they often fall somewhere near the middle of the bell curve for various reasons. If I find one either especially bad, I try to warn other readers, since almost everyone "publishing" these days seems to have a stable of loyal friends and family willing to pad even the most agregious blater with positive "reviews". Conversely, when, in my opinion, I do find a new author who seems to really stand head and shoulders above the pack relative to talent, originality, and virtuosity, It only seems fair to give their work a nod of praise and recognition. James Snyder's Desolation Run shows the kind of writing prowess, intelligent observation and expression, and uninhibited confidence found more typically in a well established author with legions of fans. This novel satsfied me in ways few have of late. I need characters I can believe, want to spend time with, and are complex, flawed, vulnerable and noble. I want my villains to be just as real and tortured as my heroes, and I don't want anything spoon fed to me. However the authentic character development forms but the foundation for the authors pehaps most gratifying gift to the reader; that being his ability to engross you immediately in an adventure so unpredictable, both breathlessly beautiful and horrifying, that though you want to at least briefly step away from the expereince unfolding before you, yet can't bear turning off the light for the night.
