Book by Watts Peter
Les informations fournies dans la section « Synopsis » peuvent faire référence à une autre édition de ce titre.
An enormous tidal wave on the west coast of North America has just killed millions. Lenie Clarke, in a black wetsuit, walks out of the ocean onto a Pacific Northwest beach filled with the oppressed and drugged homeless of the Asian world, who have gotten only this far in their attempt to reach America. Is she a monster or a goddess? One thing is for sure: all hell is breaking loose.This dark, fast-paced SF novel returns to the story begun in "Starfish": all human life is threatened by a disease (actually a primeval form of life) from the distant pre-human past. It survived only in the deep ocean rift where Clarke and her companions were stationed before the corporation that employed them tried to sterilize the threat with a secret underwater nuclear strike. But Clarke was far enough away that she was able to survive and tough enough to walk home, three hundred kilometers across the ocean floor. She arrives carrying with her the potential death of the human race, and is possessed by a desire for revenge.
"Watts moves from the relentless pressure of Starfish to the frantic speed of chaos in action, never losing the tight focus on his fascinating characters in this excellent sequel to his debut novel." - BOOKLIST (STARRED REVIEW)" --Booklist

Hardback. Etat : Very Good. This is the way the world ends: A nuclear strike on a deep sea vent. The target was an ancient microbe--voracious enough to drive the whole biosphere to extinction--and a handful of amphibious humans called rifters who'd inadvertently released it from three billion years of solitary confinement.The resulting tsunami killed millions. It's not as through there was a choice: saving the world excuses almost any degree of collateral damage.Unless, of course, you miss the target.Now North America's west coast lies in ruins. Millions of refugees rally around a mythical figure mysteriously risen from the deep sea. A world already wobbling towards collapse barely notices the spread of one more blight along its shores. And buried in the seething fast-forward jungle that use to be called Internet, something vast and inhuman reaches out to a woman with empty white eyes and machinery in her chest. A woman driven by rage, and incubating Armageddon.Her name is Lenie Clarke. She's a rifter. She's not nearly as dead as everyone thinks.And the whole damn world is collateral damage as far as she's concerned. . . . N° de réf. du vendeur CIN0312878060VG
