The story takes place in the Soviet Union during the Cold War, with a group of scientists working on a top secret project to create soldiers who are genetically engineered to be able to survive in a post-war nuclear apocalypse. The narrative is in the form of a diary written by one of the scientists, and Manzetti really gets into the character's head, creating an at-times overwhelmingly claustrophobic atmosphere. Overall, an excellent novel. My only real complaints are the numerous typos, errors, and omitted words throughout the text, which are distracting and present to some degree in almost every book I read nowadays. Where are all the good editors? ( ) nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

Semipalatinsk Polygon, 1965. The Soviets run the Chagan Test, their first experiment in underground nuclear detonation. It's a cover. Deep beneath the earth, in a bunker, they are bio-engineering soldiers to adapt to the extreme conditions of a thermonuclear war. But their human subjects get out of control, and the project's survivors are transferred to a new base hidden at the site of the proposed Chernobyl nuclear plant. Professor Petrov is one such survivor. Marked by the horrors he has witnessed, and obsessed with Boni, a dangerous Muse he has created in the lab, the scientist slides into an abyss of alcoholism and madness. Meanwhile, in the zone outside Chernobyl, strange sightings and horrific murders fuel a twenty-year manhunt, culminating in a surprising and dramatic showdown. "Alessandro Manzetti is attracting a lot of attention in the horror field, and my guess he's about to attract a lot more." - Joe R. Lansdale "Alessandro Manzetti is a major new voice in horror fiction. Bold, daring and unafraid." - Richard Chizmar "The Keeper of Chernobyl is a dark, atmospheric thriller that takes you inside the head of its protagonist and doesn't let you escape " - Glenn Cooper "The Keeper of Chernobyl is suspensful dark and intense thriller, makes you ask for more " - Sebastian Fitzek "The Keeper of Chernobyl is a perfect balance between plot and science of science fiction." - Marcello Simoni Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
