Om bogen
'Abandon is terrific . . . A great storyteller hitting his stride' – Lee Child, author of the Jack Reacher series A century-old mystery - and a desperate battle to survive. Abandon is a compulsive standalone thriller from Blake Crouch, the New York Times bestselling author of Dark Matter and Recursion.. . .On Christmas Day in 1893, every man, woman, and child in a remote mining town disappeared, belongings forsaken, meals left to freeze in vacant cabins, and not a single bone found.
Now, journalist Abigail Foster and her father, a historian, have set out unocver the truth. Exploring the area, they are joined by two backcountry guides: a psychic and a paranormal photographer. The long-abandoned town is, according to rumour, haunted.
But Abigail and her companions are about to learn that the town’s ghosts are the least of their worries. Twenty miles from civilization, with a blizzard bearing down, they realize they are not alone.
The ordeal that follows will test this small team past the breaking point as they battle the elements and human foes alike and discover that the town’s secrets still have the power to kill.
Part journey into old-West history, part nail-biting survival thriller, Abandon is a bloody, darkly surprising tale as only Blake Crouch could deliver.

- Usla, klyschiga karraktärer med ännu uslare och konstigare dialog. Var och och varannan mening yttrad ger en rysningar av hur töntiga dem är. Slösa inte din tid.

- Not the usual Blake Crouch experience. Didn’t find this entertaining at all i’m afraid

- Violence all the time and non stop. The plot is full of holes, and this is not a sci fi
