Specificatii
WINNER OF THE BRAM STOKER AWARD FOR SUPERIOR ACHIEVEMENT IN A YOUNG
ADULT NOVEL John Dixon's critically acclaimed Phoenix Island reads
like "Lord of the Flies meets Wolverine and Cool Hand Luke" (F.
Paul Wilson, creator of Repairman Jack). For fans of The Bourne
Identity, Alex Rider, and Melissa Marr. The judge told Carl that
one day he'd have to decide exactly what kind of person he would
become. But on Phoenix Island, the choice will be made for him. A
champion boxer with a sharp hook and a short temper,
sixteen-year-old Carl Freeman has been shuffled from foster home to
foster home. He can't seem to stay out of trouble--using his fists
to defend weaker classmates from bullies. His latest incident sends
his opponent to the emergency room, and now the court is sending
Carl to the worst place on earth: Phoenix Island. Classified as a
"terminal facility," it's the end of the line for delinquents who
have no home, no family, and no future. Located somewhere far off
the coast of the United States--and immune to its laws--the island
is a grueling Spartan-style boot camp run by sadistic drill
sergeants who show no mercy to their young, orphan trainees.
Sentenced to stay until his eighteenth birthday, Carl plans to play
by the rules, so he makes friends with his wisecracking bunkmate,
Ross, and a mysterious gray-eyed girl named Octavia. But he makes
enemies, too, and after a few rough scrapes, he earns himself the
nickname "Hollywood" as well as a string of punishments, including
a brutal night in the "sweatbox." But that's nothing compared to
what awaits him in the "Chop Shop"--a secret government lab where
Carl is given something he never dreamed of. A new life...A new
body. A new brain. Gifts from the fatherly Old Man, who wants to
transform Carl into something he's not sure he wants to become. For
this is no ordinary government project. Phoenix Island is ground
zero for the future of combat intelligence. And for Carl, it's just
the beginning...
