內容簡介

內容簡介 頹廢的搖滾巨星、信仰虔誠的廣播節目主持人、感到羞恥的科學家，加上一個可能是世界最後希望的青少女，結合成一部帶著史蒂芬．金《末日逼近》與艾蜜莉．孟德爾《如果我們的世界消失了》小說傳統的史詩作品，將人性織進這個令人驚異的生存小說中。Shana清晨醒來發現妹妹染上了怪病，她似乎在夢遊，無法說話也沒有醒來，並且帶著抵擋不住的決心前往只有她知道的目的地。不只是Shana的妹妹，美國各處都有如Shana妹妹一樣的夢遊者，他們加入了一場神秘之旅。除了Shana，還有如她一般的牧者伴著這群夢遊人，在這個漫長的暗黑之旅中，保護著他們的朋友與家人。在旅途中，他們發現美國深陷恐懼與暴力之中，這個如末世般的夢遊病證明了恐懼它比病本身還危險。社會崩解了，超暴力民兵團威脅著要殲滅這群夢遊者，而他們的命運則寄託在揭露隱藏在這個疾病後面的謎。這個可怕的秘密，將撕毀整個國家，還是會團結這一群存活者，重整這碎裂的世界？“If King had written a sequel to The Stand, it might look something like this monumental epic of a story.”—James Rollins, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Kingdom of Bones“As great as Wanderers was, Wayward is better.”—Christopher Golden, New York Times bestselling author of Road of BonesFive years ago, ordinary Americans fell under the grip of a strange new malady that caused them to sleepwalk across the country to a destination only they knew. They were followed on their quest by the shepherds: friends and family who gave up everything to protect them.Their secret destination: Ouray, a small town in Colorado that would become one of the last outposts of civilization. Because the sleepwalking epidemic was only the first in a chain of events that led to the end of the world—and the birth of a new one.The survivors, sleepwalkers and shepherds alike, have a dream of rebuilding human society. Among them are Benji, the scientist struggling through grief to lead the town; Marcy, the former police officer who wants only to look after the people she loves; and Shana, the teenage girl who became the first shepherd—and an unlikely hero whose courage will be needed again.Because the people of Ouray are not the only survivors, and the world they are building is fragile. The forces of cruelty and brutality are amassing under the leadership of self-proclaimed president Ed Creel. And in the very heart of Ouray, the most powerful survivor of all is plotting its own vision for the new world: Black Swan, the A.I. who imagined the apocalypse.Against these threats, Benji, Marcy, Shana, and the rest have only one hope: one another. Because the only way to survive the end of the world is together."
