"THRILLER OF THE WEEK. Delivers thrills and spills...A full tilt mix of Homeland, The Wire and The Bourne Ultimatum" (Mail on Sunday)
"I Am Pilgrim is a 21st century thriller: a high concept plot, but with finely drawn protagonists. The plot twists and turns like a python in a sack. The style is visceral, gritty and cinematic...A satisfying and ambitious book, written with skill and verve" (Adam LeBor The Times)
"Rendition yourself into a pulsating thriller that never lets up as it carries the hero and the reader on an ever more desperate race between time and an all too plausible disaster for the world we live in. Great nail-biting stuff!" (Robert Goddard)
"The narrative is thrilling: the tension tightens with action...It's a murder mystery, an illuminating account of contemporary international politics and a study of an unusual man......An excellent thriller which as a first novel is really remarkable" (Literary Review)
"I Am Pilgrim takes the modern spy novel and pushes it screaming and kicking into the twentieth-first century. With a stunning sense of plot, beautifully detailed writing, huge ambition and even huger talent, Hayes has produced one of the most memorable novels of recent times. This is a frightening, pulse-pounding journey into the future of terrorism and the brave new world we've been ushered into. Amazingly assured and complex, this is one of the best debut novels I've ever read" (Stav Sherez)
Can you commit the perfect crime?
Pilgrim is the codename for a man who doesn't exist. The adopted son of a wealthy American family, he once headed up a secret espionage unit for US intelligence. Before he disappeared into anonymous retirement, he wrote the definitive book on forensic criminal investigation.
But that book will come back to haunt him. It will help NYPD detective Ben Bradley track him down. And it will take him to a rundown New York hotel room where the body of a woman is found facedown in a bath of acid, her features erased, her teeth missing, her fingerprints gone. It is a textbook murder - and Pilgrim wrote the book.
What begins as an unusual and challenging investigation will become a terrifying race-against-time to save America from oblivion. Pilgrim will have to make a journey from a public beheading in Mecca to a deserted ruins on the Turkish coast via a Nazi death camp in Alsace and the barren wilderness of the Hindu Kush in search of the faceless man who would commit an appalling act of mass murder in the name of his God.
我喜欢史诗,读完会怅然若失的那种 选自:《朝圣者》 作者:泰瑞•海耶斯 《朝圣者》的篇幅很长,这点没有疑问,但在某种程度上,也非得这么长不可——这本书融合了一宗谋杀案的解谜,以及一桩要在美国制造大灾难的阴谋计划。为了要适当处理这两条故事线,让两者都可信且...
評分从一桩非常天衣无缝的谋杀案开始,致力于美国情报局的一名非常杰出的情报人员逐渐出现在大众的视角之中。他是“朝圣者”,聪明睿智,通过一系列的专业训练后成为不能为人所知的秘密情报人员,凭借高超的业务能力完成各种任务。然而一场悄无声息的温柔陷进向他的祖国席卷而来,...
評分 評分不得不说,是可以的,里边的情节推进、文学手法、不同方式的父爱,尤其是人性的描写等等,都说明这既是一部精彩的谍战小说,也是一部很好的文学作品。 浅谈一下自己的看法,撒拉森是一个出神入化的人物,就连书中的“我”也由衷认可,但是两人正面交战过程中,他在“我”利用其...
評分没想到这么快能把一本700页的小说看完,可读性很不错,有印象深刻的几个点,也算一部佳作。 首先是开场,引人入胜的谋杀案,神秘出现的男人,引起强烈的好奇心去阅读,编剧功底可见一斑,画面感十足。另一场精彩的戏就是布德瑞利在吧里和他会面的那一场,不错,情报人员该有的...
insanely good
评分太好看瞭。要愛上書裏的正反兩大男主角瞭。他們有時都會做一些殘酷的事,但我們很難認為他們是壞人。導緻悲劇的原因究竟是什麼呢?個人的原因微乎其微。隻能說政治、宗教這兩大統治體係都太可怕瞭。一直疑惑為什麼朝聖者有的重要行動好像完全靠老天爺是否站在他這邊,沒有備用方案,但仔細想想,好像也想不到什麼更好的其他的方案,可能所有的行動都很難完美。
评分雖然東扯西拉的東西多瞭些,但是節奏處理得很好,非常好看。
评分居然會有差評,我驚瞭。什麼gripping, read in one sitting,都隻是為形容這樣的小說的好麼!Guardian說這是當年首選thriller這的確是名至實歸。畫麵感太好瞭,每每在著急看進展的時候作者展開上帝視角開始追述當年往事固然讓人著急,但我覺得這是他的小狡猾!
评分兩條故事綫的復述也沒有情節拖遝真是大快人心,翻開就停不下來。主角解謎部分就是前麵伏筆都穿起來雖然有些設定太巧,結尾又是一大坑,怎麼這麼好看!!!
