📖 Nightrise

Jamie and Scott Tyler are twin brothers. Unbeknownst to them, their destiny is intertwined with three others. Colton Bane and Kyle Hovey, both agents of the Nightrise Corporation, are waiting outside a theater in Reno, Nevada. Their mission: to abduct the twins performing a magic act there. Meanwhile, on stage, Jamie and Scott are performing a mind-reading trick which was, in fact, real. Jamie and Scott possess the innate power of telepathy, not only with each other but also the ability to compel others to obey their commands and read their thoughts. Don White, their foster parent, decided to sell them off to the Nightrise Corporation, but Jamie and Scott escape and are pursued. With the help of a woman, Jamie made a successful escape, but Scott got captured. Upon awakening, Jamie learns his rescuer is Alicia, whose clairvoyant son was also captured by Nightrise. Peering into Colton Bane's mind reveals Silent Creek Prison. With assistance from John Trelawny, Alicia's boss, Jamie gets intentionally arrested under a false identity and placed in Silent Creek. Jamie tries to use his powers but learns that a pervasive magnetic field nullifies them within the prison. The supervisor finds out and tells Bane that he has found a Gatekeeper. Meanwhile, Jamie doesn't realize that the second gate has opened, and Richard Cole is rushing to Matt right now, crying for help. An ally of the Five recognizes the tattoo on Jamie's shoulder and, with the help of his tribal people, breaks him out of the prison. However, Jamie got shot in the shoulder in the process. His perilous escape marks only the beginning. I highly recommend this book as Anthony Horowitz is the master of suspense. Horowitz masterfully weaves suspense throughout, crafting cliffhangers on nearly every page that will keep adventure lovers captivated.

杰米(Jamie)和斯科特·泰勒(Scott Tyler)是一对双胞胎兄弟。他们并不知道,他们的命运与另外三个人紧密相连。 科尔顿·贝恩(Colton Bane)和凯尔·霍维(Kyle Hovey),皆为"夜升公司"(Nightrise Corporation)的特工,正在内华达州里诺市的一家剧院外等待。他们的任务是绑架正在那里表演魔术的双胞胎。 与此同时,在舞台上,杰米和斯科特正在表演一个读心术的魔术,而这其实是真实的。杰米和斯科特天生拥有心灵感应的力量,不仅能彼此交流,还能强迫他人服从他们的命令,并读取他人的思想。 他们的养父唐·怀特(Don White)决定将他们卖给夜升公司,但杰米和斯科特设法逃脱并被追捕。在一位女性的帮助下,杰米成功逃脱,但斯科特却被抓走。醒来后,杰米得知救他的人是艾丽西亚(Alicia),她的儿子拥有预知能力,也同样被夜升公司抓走。杰米窥探科尔顿·贝恩的思想,发现了"寂静溪监狱"(Silent Creek Prison)。在艾丽西亚的上司约翰·特雷劳尼(John Trelawny)的帮助下,杰米以假身份故意被捕并送入寂静溪。 杰米尝试使用他的能力,但发现监狱内弥漫的磁场使他的力量完全失效。监狱主管发现了这一点,并告诉贝恩他找到了"守门人"(Gatekeeper)。与此同时,杰米并不知道第二道门已经开启,理查德·科尔(Richard Cole)正急忙赶往马特(Matt)那里,哭喊着寻求帮助。 "五人"中的一位盟友认出了杰米肩膀上的纹身,并在部族的帮助下将他从监狱中救出。然而,在逃亡过程中,杰米的肩膀中弹受伤。他的惊险逃亡仅仅是一个开始。 我强烈推荐这本书,因为安东尼·霍洛维茨(Anthony Horowitz)是悬念大师。他巧妙地在故事中编织悬念,几乎每一页都设置了扣人心弦的悬念,令冒险爱好者欲罢不能。
