Über diesen Titel

A decadent rock star. A deeply religious radio host. A disgraced scientist. And a teenage girl who may be the world’s last hope. From the mind of Chuck Wendig comes “a magnum opus . . . a story about survival that’s not just about you and me, but all of us, together” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review).

NOMINATED FOR THE BRAM STOKER AWARD • ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: The Washington Post, NPR, The Guardian, Kirkus Reviews, Publishers Weekly, Library Journal, Polygon

Shana wakes up one morning to discover her little sister in the grip of a strange malady. She appears to be sleepwalking. She cannot talk and cannot be woken up. And she is heading with inexorable determination to a destination that only she knows. But Shana and her sister are not alone. Soon they are joined by a flock of sleepwalkers from across America, on the same mysterious journey. And like Shana, there are other “shepherds” who follow the flock to protect their friends and family on the long dark road ahead.

For as the sleepwalking phenomenon awakens terror and violence in America, the real danger may not be the epidemic but the fear of it. With society collapsing all around them—and an ultraviolent militia threatening to exterminate them—the fate of the sleepwalkers depends on unraveling the mystery behind the epidemic. The terrifying secret will either tear the nation apart—or bring the survivors together to remake a shattered world.

In development for TV by Glen Mazzara, executive producer of The Walking Dead • Look for the sequel, Wayward, now available!

Ich weiß nicht mehr genau warum ich es gekauft habe, Ob es eine Empfehlung bei audible war oder ich es irgendwo in den Medien gesehen hatte, auf jeden Fall schlummerte es in meiner Bibliothek rum. Jetzt wo ich es durchgehört habe kann ich nicht nachvollziehen warum ich so lange damit gewartet habe.

Kurzum… ich finde es wirklich richtig gut. Es hat mich über einen langen Zeitraum gefesselt und trotz Pausen immer wieder sofort abgeholt und mitgerissen.
Ohne zu Spoilern, einige werden das Ende ggf. schon gesehen haben bzw. eine Vermutung gehabt haben, mich jedoch hat es überrascht.

Wie in vielen Storys gibt es auch hier viele parallele Geschichten der verschiedenen Protagonisten, die am Ende zusammen laufen und auch hier wird es am Ende relativ schnell abgerundet und abgehandelt, dennoch ist es bis zum Schluss eine sehr gute Geschichte die es sich lohnt zu kaufen und zu genießen.

Ich kann sie nur empfehlen. Viel Spaß beim hören.

Gelungen und nie langweilig

...until you're halfway through the apocalypse. It wasn't as unpredictable to me as I'd kind of expected from the outset of the previews, in fact as lot of twists and turns the story took were not a surprise to me at all, I saw them coming a mile away. But that didn't take away any of the enjoyment, on the contrary, since in this case the journey is more the destination and it felt like a very simple philosophical question: if the singularity happened, what would it conclude about humanity and our impact onto the world we live in and how would it react to that? thought through to the end along the lines of unshakable, strangely moralistic (while being amoral) logic.
Everything that happens adheres to that set of parameters, though the way we get there holds some truely innovative narration and is buoyed by a set over flawed and heroic and quintessentially human characters. And watching them on their journey felt like a mindmeld of inevitability, an inescapable narrative pull that created tension not in the way of jumpscares and thriller moments (though there are those) but out of the fundamental struggles the characters face in a very realistic world where there are no good or bad choices, but slightly better and slightly worse ones that lead you to the next set of choices that the characters might make better informed but that don't guarantee success. It's a world that is only one small step removed from ours and that is what gives it the traditional gothic horror feel while also playing to science fiction elements. It's truly a work beyond genre. And the speakers do a marvelous job, filling out many roles that give the world of the story an expansive and deep feel. Listening to it is probably best described as a cinematic experience in scope and you want to really sit down with it and concentrate because it's so rich in details you shouldn't want to miss.

It sucks you in and you don't even notice...

If you are the kind of person who thinks that a cocktail of cocaine, LSD, Heroin and Ecstasy are barely enough to party out, then you might also think this book barely hit the point where it covers enough of the top blockbuster buzzword hot topics.
I mean, some write a bestseller about genetic experiments. Someone else tries a bestseller about Artificial Intelligence.
It's hard not to leave a spoiler here, but Wendig obviously tried to not let a sinlge buzzword topic uncovered except colonizing Mars.
One could think the author had made a bet that he could put more pre- and post apocalyptic topics into his story than any other.
The credibility of the story of course totally gets burried alongside the road where the wanderers ambulate.
The ideas lack any scientific basis, the plot turns out somehow not logical at all, i mean, why the heck... well of course i know why: Because it had to happen this way, because otherwise the show wouldn't have gotten on the road.
But really, sometimes less is simply more.
And then again: I understand why it's a bestseller.
It's written in a very entertaining way that keeps you wondering what comes next.
I wouldn't be surprised if Wendig turned out to be just a pseudonym of Stephen King or another big player.

Too much of everything
