Produktbeschreibung

Black Dreams, Silver Linings is the second book of this award-winning author's post-apocalyptic epic, The Black Dreams Series.

In a post-plague, baby-hungry world Waverly searches for her kidnapped daughter. She works as a tour guide on what mainlanders call Devil's Island--all that's left of a future San Francisco. The island is infamous for its high rate of plague survivors, its thriving arts community, and its suspect spirituality.

Islanders are fascinated by mysterious "plague gifts"--knowledge and skills acquired by surviving the plague and are covertly experimenting with the virus. Mainlanders abhor the mere mention of anything plague-related.

The island is quarantined, yet mainlanders Dr. Lourdes and his daughters insist on a visit. Their stated agenda is to shop the arts district and to adopt a child. But Dr. Lourdes' curiosity about rumored plague virus experiments has Waverly worried about the true purpose of their visit.

When the doctor's youngest daughter contracts the plague, Waverly must call on all her plague gifts to help her survive. The girl's fight for her life and Waverly's search for her own daughter dovetail in a startling conclusion that is beyond Waverly's wildest dreams.

"Gretchen Hummel has created a rich, complex world that is both beautiful and scary..." Alison Baker, O'Henry Award Winner

"...from the beginning, I was gripped by Hummel's ability to pull together science and imagined technology with myth and spirituality, a winning combination..." Jaclyn Dolomore, librarything.com
