Abner Marsh has had his wish come true – he has built the Fevre Dream, the finest steamship to sail the Mississippi. Abner hopes to race the boat some day, but his partner is making it hard for him to realise his dreams. Joshua York put up the money for the Fevre Dream, but now rumours have started about his the company he keeps, his odd eating habits and strange hours. As the Dream sails the great river, it leaves in it’s a wake one too many dark tales, forcing Abner to face down the man who made his dreams become reality.
When struggling riverboat captain Abner Marsh receives an offer of partnership from a wealthy aristocrat, he suspects something's amiss. But when he meets the hauntingly pale, steely-eyed Joshua York, he is certain. For York doesn't care that the icy winter of 1857 has wiped out all but one of Marsh's dilapidated fleet. Nor does he care that he won't earn back his investment in a decade. York has his own reasons for wanting to traverse the powerful Mississippi. And they are to be none of Marsh's concern—no matter how bizarre, arbitrary, or capricious his actions may prove.Marsh meant to turn down York's offer. It was too full of secrets that spelled danger. But the promise of both gold and a grand new boat that could make history crushed his resolve—coupled with the terrible force of York's mesmerizing gaze. Not until the maiden voyage of his new sidewheeler Fevre Dream would Marsh realize he had joined a mission both more sinister, and perhaps more noble, than his most fantastic nightmare…and mankind's most impossible dream.Here is the spellbinding tale of a vampire's quest to unite his race with humanity, of a garrulous riverman's dream of immortality, and of the undying legends of the steamboat era and a majestic, ancient river.

她以绝美之姿行来——重读《热夜之梦》

- 萧星寒(徘徊在世界边缘) 她以绝美之姿行来——重读《热夜之梦》 近日,重读了乔治•马丁的《热夜之梦》。感慨良多,收获颇丰。现简单书写感受如下 三组人物: 两个视点人物:阿布纳•马什和比利•蒂普顿 在马丁的神作《冰与火之歌》中,我第一次见到了POV写法,其情节转换、观点多元与构思精巧令我无比的惊艳与震撼。而作为马丁早期作品长篇的代表,...... (6回应)2008-08-17 16/17有用来自 四川科技出版社&科幻世界杂志社2008版

- 露可小溪(掌握了过去时态与现在时态的强者) (写于2006年12月18日,初读杂志删节版后,目前拿到完整担心本,重温中!) 这是一个关于梦想的故事,飘荡在夏季炎热的密西西比河面之上,沸腾成为血管里滚烫的血液,把生活轨道毫无交叉的两个“人”的命运交织在了一起,一个是仗义、正直、诚实、无畏的“白昼的人民”,另一个是梦想、激情、优雅、勇敢的“夜晚的人民”。这...... (6回应)2008-07-29 5/5有用来自 四川科技出版社&科幻世界杂志社2008版
英雄本色

- 广陵散人 看完小说,在思索吴宇森是不是读过这本书。同样的男人的生死友谊,同样的散弹枪,同样的背叛与忠诚。也或许这是永恒的话题。 小说其实现在读来也就一般,书中大量的关于内河航运和汽船的知识,以及美国内战前后的社会状况,读来有些繁琐。 发现老外常常会用一个看似很有知识的外壳,来包装一个平庸但感人的故事。这本书如此,再如《达芬奇...... (1回应)2009-12-22 2/2有用来自 四川科技出版社&科幻世界杂志社2008版

吸血鬼题材的顶级之作!
-
- 荔枝(沈阳盛产路痴……还好我不是……) 吸血鬼在科幻作品中一直是个永恒的题材,而作者没有俗套的单纯表现吸血鬼的无情和残忍,反而从吸血鬼的角度出发,提出“为什么吸血鬼就不想和人类和平相处”这个问题,围绕这个问题从而展开内容。 另一个闪光点是背景设置,密西西比河上穿梭的大小船只,以及船与船之间的竞争,船客的反应,客栈、种植园、奴隶主和黑奴…......2009-10-17 1/1有用来自 Spectra2004版
如果拍成电影的话该多好
-
- Caster(头像还是不能说明什么) 但是导演演员一定要选好!如果拍好的话铁定必定一定很卖座!!!!!!!!!!!!! 虽然我也很喜欢看“夜访吸血鬼”,但是这个小说本身实在是比安妮的设定要周全很多精彩很多。所以拍好的话一定是吸血鬼电影中的经典!...... (6回应)2009-07-01 1/1有用来自 四川科技出版社&科幻世界杂志社2008版
的确是顶级之作
-
- dpcoo 个人以为, 它是很多方面都超越了安妮的夜访吸血鬼 它的设定, 人物刻画, 严谨性, 小说本身体现的东西, 都要更高一筹 使得奇幻文学更有"科学"性和"真实"性 至于其它吸血鬼题材的小说, 跟这两部还不在一个档次上 还有文字间所体现的扎实的笔风, 干练的文字功底, 大师之作 这正是现在充斥的网络文学所远远不能企......2009-12-25 来自 四川科技出版社&科幻世界杂志社2008版
我曾有个似梦非梦的梦境

- 影子(上帝能做到的,啤酒也都可以) 彻底颠覆我对吸血鬼的概念.而且双主人公的手法也是相当的平衡.没有弄成一强一弱.另外书里还大量引用了拜伦的诗,话说我对拜伦大人比较向往,嘿嘿~......2009-11-12 来自 四川科技出版社&科幻世界杂志社2008版
