( ) This book was a wild ride that was hard to put down. It's a slow burn with a fantastic pay off which made my skin crawl, so much in fact, that I know I was making some really weird faces at my desk while listening to this. The audiobook narrator did a great job. He had a slow monotone voice that just filled me with dread the entire time. I highly recommend checking this one out, but just make sure you're not eating while reading this An engaging story about a boy scout troop that go on their annual camping trip and unknowingly and unwittingly become part of a military test. Nick Cutter must've listen to one of the same podcasts that I do...It's a while ago that there was this story about steak tartar and worms, and Nick must've thought, 'How can this end any worse?' and the story to The Troop was born.
This predictable, carnage-filled thriller from the pseudonymous Cutter will appeal mainly to horror fans. On Falstaff Island, off Prince Edward Island, a troop of boy scouts encounters Thomas Henry Padgett, aka “the Hungry Man,” a victim of military research gone terribly wrong. An act of charity toward Padgett, who carries a deadly contagion, turns out to be a big mistake that leaves the scouts with no choice but to rely on their limited tools and rudimentary survival skills. Meanwhile, an alarmed military has quarantined Falstaff Island to protect the world from the evil released there. While the boys have many options, escape is not among them. Competent prose makes up in part for stock characters—the nerd, the popular kid, the quiet psychotic. Cutter’s appeal to modern-day disquiet over the ethical lapses of the military-industrial complex will strike many as pro forma rather than based in any authentic outrage over abuses real or imagined.

But when an unexpected intruder stumbles upon their campsite-shockingly thin, disturbingly pale, and voraciously hungry-Tim and the boys are exposed to something far more frightening than any tale of terror. The human carrier of a bioengineered nightmare. A horror that spreads faster than fear. A harrowing struggle for survival with no escape from the elements, the infected?or one another. Part Lord of the Flies, part 28 Days Later-and all-consuming-this tightly written, edge-of-your-seat thriller takes you deep into the heart of darkness, where fear feeds on sanity?and terror hungers for No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
