Kuuluu näihin sarjoihinPhoenix Island (2) Palkinnot
The follow-up to the critically acclaimedPhoenix Island, which reads like "Lord of the Flies meets Wolverine and Cool Hand Luke" (F. Paul Wilson, creator of Repairman Jack) and inspired the CBS TV show Intelligence. With a chip in his head and hundreds more throughout his body, sixteen-year-old Carl Freeman was turned from an orphan with impulse control issues into a super-soldier. Forced into the mercenary Phoenix Force group, he begins to fear he'll never escape. Sent to a volcanic island to fight for them, he'll compete in a combat tournament that awards teens with survival for merciless brutality. But just when all looks lost, he spies a friendly face...and possibly a way out. Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |

Devil's Pocket is the second book in John Dixon's Phoenix Island series. It's as good as the first book, though quite different, and believe me, that's high praise because Phoenix Island is a fantastic book also. Dixon has a way of connecting to you through his words, an immediacy, that compels you to read "just one more chapter" over and over until suddenly you've finished the book. It's that good.
Most of the characters in the book are teenagers and the book is being marketed towards the young adult market but Devil's Pocket should be just as appealing to the general market. There's thematic similarities to The Hunger Games but the writing and approach are quite different however if you liked one you'll probably like the other as well. Both are dystopian novels wherein young adults make a difference through combat--and both series are very well written. ( )
