The end of the world was only the beginning. In his internationally bestselling and critically acclaimed novel The Passage, Justin Cronin constructed an unforgettable world transformed by a government experiment gone horribly wrong. Now the scope widens and the intensity deepens as the epic story surges forward with… THE TWELVE In the present day, as the man-made apocalypse unfolds, three strangers navigate the chaos. Lila, a doctor and an expectant mother, is so shattered by the spread of violence and infection that she continues to plan for her child’s arrival even as society dissolves around her. Kittridge, known to the world as “Last Stand in Denver,” has been forced to flee his stronghold and is now on the road, dodging the infected, armed but alone and well aware that a tank of gas will get him only so far. April is a teenager fighting to guide her little brother safely through a landscape of death and ruin. These three will learn that they have not been fully abandoned—and that in connection lies hope, even on the darkest of nights. One hundred years in the future, Amy and the others fight on for humankind’s salvation… unaware that the rules have changed. The enemy has evolved, and a dark new order has arisen with a vision of the future infinitely more horrifying than man’s extinction. If the Twelve are to fall, one of those united to vanquish them will have to pay the ultimate price. A heart-stopping thriller rendered with masterful literary skill, The Twelve is a grand and gripping tale of sacrifice and survival. PRAISE FOR JUSTIN CRONIN’S THE PASSAGE Named one of the Ten Best Novels of the Year by Time and Library Journal, and one of the Best Books of the Year by The Washington Post • Esquire • U.S. News & World Report • NPR/On Point • St. Louis Post-Dispatch “Magnificent… Cronin has taken his literary gifts, and he has weaponized them…. The Passage can stand proudly next to Stephen King’s apocalyptic masterpiece The Stand, but a closer match would be Cormac McCarthy’s The Road.” —Time “Read this book and the ordinary world disappears.” —Stephen King “[A] big, engrossing read that will have you leaving the lights on late into the night.” —The Dallas Morning News
автор название книги
Финансовый мир — это не группа очкариков у компьютеров, это не вежливые клерки в банке и даже не трейдеры на бирже. Финансовый мир — это авианосцы, атомные подводные лодки, танки, самолеты и вертолеты. Это диверсанты и наемные убийцы, снайперы и шпионы, политики и общественные деятели. И все это нужно лишь для того, чтобы сохранить существующий финансовый уклад планеты. Сохранить свое господство, упрочить свое доминирование. Самое любопытное во всем этом то, что, несмотря на явные «физические» признаки такого мироустройства, подавляющее большинство человечества даже примерно не представляет, как все устроено и работает. А тем, кто доминирует, тем, кто придумал и создал этот театр абсурда, именно это и нужно.
