Read this in China during my summer holidays 2019 in yanshuo ( ) Al borde de una sima submarina conocida como el Abismo, un buceador intrépido hace caso omiso de una voz interior que le advierte del peligro. En ese lugar donde las aguas cálidas del Caribe se hacen oscuras y frías, ha encontrado una recompensa: un submarino alemán hundido, un ataúd de acero enterrado en una tumba de arena. El hombre excava furiosamente; desea desenterrarlo, explorarlo, descubrir sus misterios. Hasta que algo en el silencio sobrecogedor de las profundidades le hiela el corazón con un horror fantasmagórico… Es el martilleo obsesionante y cavernoso procedente de su interior. El sonido frenético e incesante de algo que rabia, de algo que… muere por salir. The next in my read-through of McCammon's works. This is the second novel he wrote (before Bethany's Sin, but the third published. A reader can see the gradual improvement of McCammon's plotting as they work through his first three novels. This one took a while to get going, but once it did, it actually zipped along nicely. The second half was an absolute pleasure. For me, McCammon's characters are almost as good as Stephen King's and Jack Ketchum's. Where he falls down (at least in these early books) is the plotting. He's still, with this third published novel, still stuck on an evil coming back from the past and wreaking havoc or revenge. I know he moves away from this soon, and I'm looking forward to it. In the meantime, however, there's a lot worse out there than this novel. It's a fun ride. I picked up McCammon's Night Boat because I had previously read and enjoyed his novel Swan Song.While this book wasn't quite as good as that one, it was still a fun little 80s horror novel. The book is set on a small Caribbean island. A man goes diving and accidentally unearths an old German U-Boat, which promptly floats back to the surface. This is rather unexpected since a submarine that has been sunk for decades shouldn't be able to do that. This being a horror novel, the reader will know that the boat is rising because the crew isn't quite dead and are out to exact some sort of horrible revenge. This wasn't the best horror novel I've ever read, but it isn't as bad as some people say it is and is generally a fun read. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
A scuba diver unearths a sunken U-boat that holds a terrible secret Robert Moore had a cushy life in Baltimore. The son of a bank president, he could have had the old man's job if he'd just waited in line. But Moore isn't the patient type, and rather than spend his life trapped behind a desk, he decamped for the Caribbean, to pass his days diving beneath the perfect blue sea. One day, diving deeper than usual, he spies a sunken ship. His investigations disrupt an unexploded depth charge, which hurls Robert to the surface with the sunken ship not far behind. The U-boat, still seaworthy after all these decades, drifts towards the island and gets caught on the reef. A strange knocking echoes from inside the hull, as though something within is still alive. When Robert opens the long-closed hatch, he'll learn that some sunken treasure is better left undisturbed. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
