乡村牧师家庭出身的黑兹尔从小就希望长大后成为一名牧师,然而,在当兵参加战争的几年里,他的信仰发生了动摇——他发现自己的灵魂已然不复存在。复员后他离开家乡,到了一座名叫托金汉姆的城市,试图创立一个“没有耶稣的新教”,然而沉溺于物质生活中的公众对他有关罪恶信仰的谈论漠不关心,而他所宣传的这种新教竞被人利用——假冒先知以行骗……《智血》是一部融神秘宗教与黑暗暴力于一体的杰作。该书出版时,其古怪的情节与荒诞的人物使得许多评论家难以接受。直到今天,其哥特式恐怖、阴冷的风格仍不免令初读此书的读者为之震惊。

Chaos is coming, old son.
With those words the peace of Three Pines is shattered. Everybody goes to Olivier’s Bistroincluding a stranger whose murdered body is found on the floor. When Chief Inspector Gamache is called to investigate, he is dismayed to discover that Olivier’s story is full of holes. Why are his fingerprints all over the cabin that’s uncovered deep in the wilderness, with priceless antiques and the dead man’s blood? And what other secrets and layers of lies are buried in the seemingly idyllic village?
Gamache follows a trail of clues and treasuresfrom first editions of Charlotte’s Web and Jane Eyre to a spiderweb with a word mysteriously woven in itinto the woods and across the continent, before returning to Three Pines to confront the truth and the final, brutal telling.

孤独感就如同垃圾箱里燃起的火焰,是他借以取暖的东西。
“令人想起雷蒙·钱德勒……这部小说充满野心,富于技巧,而且令人感动……”——《洛杉矶时报》
“康奈利是少数几位提升了硬汉派侦探小说水准的作家。”——《波士顿环球报》
这头郊狼瘦骨嶙峋,一向乱毛,在城郊山区的生存挣扎已经使它筋疲力尽。小河上升起的薄雾折射着街灯的光线,郊狼身上笼上了一层黯淡的蓝光。它停了片刻,似乎是在打量博斯的车,映着红灯的眼睛闪闪发亮,有那么一瞬间,博斯觉得这也许是在看着自己,之后,郊狼转过身,消失在蓝色的雾霭之中。
哈里·博斯的生活一团糟。洛杉矶大地震毁了他的崖边小屋;他的女朋友也离开了他;他喝酒喝得太凶了。在顶撞了上司之后,哈里·博斯甚至不得不交出了警徽。现在的他的前途维系在一份心理报告上。博斯决定自己花时间去调查一桩发生在1961年的悬案上。30多年前,一个交际花被人杀死在一条小巷子里,并被弃尸垃圾箱。这件案子当时被草草处理,凶手一直没有抓到。越来越多的迹象表明有人想掩盖事实真相。博斯决心找到背后的凶手,否则他就无法安心,因为那个交际花就是他的母亲。

Six days ago, astronaut Mark Watney became one of the first people to walk on Mars.
Now, he's sure he'll be the first person to die there.
After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded and completely alone with no way to even signal Earth that he’s alive—and even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive.
Chances are, though, he won't have time to starve to death. The damaged machinery, unforgiving environment, or plain-old "human error" are much more likely to kill him first.
But Mark isn't ready to give up yet. Drawing on his ingenuity, his engineering skills—and a relentless, dogged refusal to quit—he steadfastly confronts one seemingly insurmountable obstacle after the next. Will his resourcefulness be enough to overcome the impossible odds against him?
------------------------------------------------------------------
“Brilliant…a celebration of human ingenuity [and] the purest example of real-science sci-fi for many years…Utterly compelling.”--Wall Street Journal
“Terrific stuff, a crackling good read that devotees of space travel will devour like candy…succeeds on several levels and for a variety of reasons, not least of which is its surprising plausibility.”—USA Today
“An impressively geeky debut…the technical details keep the story relentlessly precise and the suspense ramped up. And really, how can anyone not root for a regular dude to prove the U-S-A still has the Right Stuff?”--Entertainment Weekly
“Gripping…[features] a hero who can solve almost every problem while still being hilarious. It’s hard not to be swept up in [Weir’s] vision and root for every one of these characters. Grade: A.”—AVClub.com
“Andy Weir delivers with The Martian...a story for readers who enjoy thrillers, science fiction, non-fiction, or flat-out adventure [and] an authentic portrayal of the future of space travel.”--Associated Press
"A gripping tale of survival in space [that] harkens back to the early days of science fiction by masters such as Robert Heinlein, Isaac Asimov and Arthur C. Clarke."--San Jose Mercury News
“One of the best thrillers I’ve read in a long time. It feels so real it could almost be nonfiction, and yet it has the narrative drive and power of a rocket launch. This is Apollo 13 times ten.”
--Douglas Preston, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Impact and Blasphemy
“A book I just couldn’t put down! It has the very rare combination of a good, original story, interestingly real characters and fascinating technical accuracy…reads like “MacGyver” meets “Mysterious Island.”
--Astronaut Chris Hadfield, Commander of the International Space Station and author of An Astronaut’s Guide to Life on Earth
"The best book I've read in ages. Clear your schedule before you crack the seal. This story will take your breath away faster than a hull breech. Smart, funny, and white-knuckle intense, The Martian is everything you want from a novel."
--Hugh Howey, New York Times bestselling author of Wool
“The Martian kicked my ass! Weir has crafted a relentlessly entertaining and inventive survival thriller, a MacGyver-trapped-on-Mars tale that feels just as real and harrowing as the true story of Apollo 13.”
—Ernest Cline, New York Times bestselling author of Ready Player One
“Gripping…shapes up like Defoe’s Robinson Crusoe as written by someone brighter.”
--Larry Niven, multiple Hugo and Nebula Award-winning author of the Ringworld series and Lucifer’s Hammer
“Humankind is only as strong as the challenges it faces, and The Martian pits human ingenuity (laced with more humor than you’d expect) against the greatest endeavor of our time — survival on Mars. A great read with an inspiring attention to technical detail and surprising emotional depth. Loved it!"
--Daniel H. Wilson, New York Times bestselling author of Robopocalypse
“The tension simply never lets up, from the first page to the last, and at no point does the believability falter for even a second. You can't shake the feeling that this could all really happen.”
—Patrick Lee, New York Times bestselling author of The Breach and Ghost Country
"Strong, resilent, and gutsy. It's Robinson Crusoe on Mars, 21st century style. Set aside a chunk of free time when you start this one. You're going to need it because you won't want to put it down."
—Steve Berry, New York Times bestselling author of The King’s Deception and The Columbus Affair
“An excellent first novel…Weir laces the technical details with enough keen wit to satisfy hard science fiction fan and general reader alike [and] keeps the story escalating to a riveting conclusion.”—Publisher’s Weekly (starred)
"Riveting...a tightly constructed and completely believable story of a man's ingenuity and strength in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds."--Booklist
“Sharp, funny and thrilling, with just the right amount of geekery…Weir displays a virtuosic ability to write about highly technical situations without leaving readers far behind. The result is a story that is as plausible as it is compelling.”—Kirkus
"Weir combines the heart-stopping with the humorous in this brilliant debut novel...by placing a nail-biting life-and-death situation on Mars and adding a snarky and wise-cracking nerdy hero, Weir has created the perfect mix of action and space adventure."--Library Journal (starred)
“A perfect novel in almost every way, The Martian may already have my vote for best book of 2014.”—Crimespree Magazine
“A page-turning thriller…this survival tale with a high-tech twist will pull you right in.”—Suspense Magazine
From the Hardcover edition.
