Amazon.com Review
Swan Song is rich with such characters as an ex-wrestler named Black Frankenstein, a New York City bag lady who feels power coursing from a weird glass ring, a boy who claws his way out of a destroyed survivalist compound. They gather their followers and travel toward each other, all bent on saving a blonde girl named Swan from the Man of Many Faces. Swan Song is often compared to Stephen King's The Stand, and for the most part, readers who enjoy one of the two novels, will enjoy the other. Like The Stand, it's an end-of-the-world novel, with epic sweep, apocalyptic drama, and a cast of vividly realized characters. But the tone is somewhat different: The good is sweeter, the evil is more sadistic, and the setting is harsher, because it's the world after a nuclear holocaust. Swan Song won a 1988 Bram Stoker Award for Best Novel. It's a monster of a horror book, brimming over with stories and violence and terrific imagery--God and the Devil, the whole works. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
Review
"Compelling.... A long, satisfying look at hell and salvation." -- Publishers Weekly
"A wild ride into terror.... A grand and disturbing adventure." -- Dean R. Koontz
Product Description
“We’re about to cross the point of no return. God help us; we’re flying in the dark and we don’t know where the hell we’re going.”
Facing down an unprecedented malevolent enemy, the government responds with a nuclear attack. America as it was is gone forever, and now every citizen—from the President of the United States to the homeless on the streets of New York City—will fight for survival.
Swan Song is Robert McCammon’s prescient and “shocking” (John Saul) vision of a post- Apocalyptic nation, a grand epic of terror and, ultimately, renewal.
In a wasteland born of rage and fear, populated by monstrous creatures and marauding armies, earth’s last survivors have been drawn into the final battle between good and evil, that will decide the fate of humanity: Sister, who discovers a strange and transformative glass artifact in the destroyed Manhattan streets . . . Joshua Hutchins, the pro wrestler who takes refuge from the nuclear fallout at a Nebraska gas station . . . And Swan, a young girl possessing special powers, who travels alongside Josh to a Missouri town where healing and recovery can begin with Swan’s gifts. But the ancient force behind earth’s devastation is scouring the walking wounded for recruits for its relentless army, beginning with Swan herself. . . .

這書前三分一值四、五星,令人欲罷不能,但越後越多的簡單基督教正邪對立,蠢得不可思議的「魔鬼」,不知到底最終有何作用的神奇道具等等,實在令人失望。虎頭蛇尾,可惜了那麽好的開頭部分。
评分宣教意味,圣母设定,宅男坏蛋,又长得不得了,换别的作家我早就摔书了,只能说卖萌太会写,中间想放弃过一次可就是记挂着所有的角色们就是放不下。
评分因为a boy's life,所以选择了Swan Song, 据说这是Robert McCammon的巅峰之作。完全不同的题材,正在阅读中,864页,工作量真不小啊......
评分读完一本这样的好书,就跟搭上一个超级辣妹又被甩了似的,不甘心啊
评分比老金那本末日逼近好看太多了
Maybe 3.75. Such a huge volume while the story line is very clear. The USA government detonated the atomic bomb out of fear on 17th July. After that, the world has been doomed by dark for 7 years. Deaths occupies in every corner. Normal people become evil, ...
评分Swan Song是一部长篇巨著。 整个读书的过程让人一直感觉到很压抑,从核战争爆发的那一刻起就再也没有太阳,没有和风细雨,没有春夏秋冬,没有色彩,没有温暖。。。有的只是无尽的寒冬,尘灰笼罩的灰蒙蒙的天空,冷雨,毫无生机的枯木,饿狼。。。变态的垂死挣扎的生命,死亡,...
