Autor Lyndsay Ely Cuvânt înainte de James Patterson Christie Moreauen CD-Audio – 2 ian 2018
Seventeen-year-old Serendipity "Pity" Jones inherited two things from her mother: a pair of six shooters and perfect aim. She's been offered a life of fame and fortune in Cessation, a glittering city where lawlessness is a way of life. But the price she pays for her freedom may be too great....
In
this
extraordinary
debut
from
Lyndsay
Ely,
the
West
is
once
again
wild
after
a
Second
Civil
War
fractures
the
U.S.
into
a
broken,
dangerous
land.
Pity's
struggle
against
the
dark
and
twisted
underbelly
of
a
corrupt
city
will
haunt
you
long
after
the
final
bullet
is
shot.

Praise
forGunslinger
Girl:
*"Dirty politics has its grip in this Western-like dystopia... [Ely] leaves the door ajar for Pity's return--and it would be a dang shame if she has ridden permanently off into the sunset."—Bulletin for the Center for Children's Books STARRED review
"Debut author Ely brings to life a gritty future American West... a littleInto the Badlands, a littleFirefly, a whole lot to say about how right and wrong so often borrow from each other."—Kirkus
"Ely'sGunslinger Girlis as thrilling as a three-ring circus, and just as hard to look away from. With an intricately woven plot of political intrigue and characters so vivid that they vibrate off the page, it's an unputdownable firecracker of a debut. Readers will be left hungry for more!"
—Natalie C. Anderson, author of City of Saints & Thieves
"A gripping, action-packed futuristic Western with an unforgettable heroine--Gunslinger Girlis not to be missed!"—Elizabeth Briggs, New York Times bestselling author of Future Shock
Equal parts futuristic dystopia and gritty western,Gunslinger Girlis genre-bending at its finest. Much like the theater in which her sharpshooting heroine performs, Ely's debut dazzles and stuns.
—Erin Bowman, author of Vengeance Road and Retribution Rails
"An action-packed, thrilling read in an exciting, genre-bending book. Ely introduces readers to a dystopian wild west that is brilliantly imagined...a plot full of surprises, temptation, betrayal, and, of course, shootouts will be a welcome addition to the dystopia bookshelf."—VOYA
