Gwendy's Final Task

~~€17.90~~ €11.00

King and Chizmar join forces again with a powerful stand-alone novel that is also the final chapter in the Gwendy trilogy.

When Gwendy Peterson was twelve, a stranger named Richard Farris gave her a mysterious box for safekeeping. It offered treats and vintage coins, but it was dangerous. Pushing any of its seven coloured buttons promised death and destruction.

Years later, the button box re-entered Gwendy's life. A successful novelist and a rising political star, she was once more forced to deal with the temptations that the box represented - an amazing sense of wellbeing, balanced by a terrifyingly dark urge towards disaster.

With the passing of time, the box has grown ever stronger and evil forces are striving to possess it. Once again, it is up to Gwendy Peterson, now a United States Senator battling the early symptoms of Alzheimer's Disease, to keep it from them. At all costs. But where can you hide something from such powerful entities?

Gwendy's Final Task is a wildly suspenseful and at the same time deeply moving novel in which 'horror giants' (Publishers Weekly) Stephen King and Richard Chizmar take us on a journey from Castle Rock to another famous cursed Maine city to the MF-1 space station, where Gwendy must execute a secret mission to save the world. And, maybe, all worlds.

Product description

Kings un Čizmārs atkal apvieno spēkus ar spēcīgu, atsevišķi lasāmu romānu, kas ir arī Gvendija triloģijas pēdējā daļa.

Kad Gvendijai Pētersonei bija divpadsmit gadu, kāds svešinieks vārdā Ričards Fariss iedeva viņai noslēpumainu kastīti glabāšanai. Tā piedāvāja gardumus un senas monētas, taču tā bija bīstama. Jebkuras no tās septiņām, krāsainajām pogām nospiešana, solīja nāvi un iznīcību.

Gadus vēlāk pogu kastīte atkal ienāca Gvendijas dzīvē. Veiksmīga romānu rakstniece un uzlecošā politiskā zvaigzne, viņa atkal bija spiesta tikt galā ar kārdinājumiem, ko pārstāvēja kastīte – pārsteidzošu labklājības sajūtu, ko līdzsvaro biedējoši tumša tieksme uz katastrofu.

Laikam ejot, kaste ir kļuvusi arvien spēcīgāka, un ļaunie spēki cenšas to iegūt savā īpašumā. Atkal Gvendijai Pētersonei, kura tagad ir ASV senatore, kura cīnās ar Alcheimera slimības agrīnajiem simptomiem, ir jāslēpj tā no viņiem. Par katru cenu. Bet kur var kaut ko noslēpt no tik spēcīgiem varas pārstāvjiem?

"Gwendy's Final Task" ir mežonīgas spriedzes pilns un tajā pašā laikā dziļi aizkustinošs romāns, kurā "šausmas kļūst milzīgas" (Publishers Weekly). Stīvens Kings un Ričards Čizmars ved mūs ceļojumā no Kāslrokas uz citu slavenu nolādētu Meinas pilsētu, uz MF-1 kosmosa staciju, kur Gvendijai jāizpilda slepena misija, lai glābtu pasauli. Un, iespējams, visas pasaules.
