Description
A new crew of vampires is stalking the best-seller list this week.... My bets are on The Strain. --New York Times
Présentation de l'éditeur
A heart-stopping thriller the first in a trilogy about an invasion of vampires by one of Hollywood s most popular and imaginative storytellers, the creator of the Oscar-winning Pan s Labyrinth.
A Boeing 777 lands at JFK after a flight from Berlin and is on its way to the gate-when it suddenly goes dark. Just stops dead. The control tower loses contact with the pilot and all electrical activity shuts down. No movement or communication from inside. Nada. An emergency crew gathers, everyone watching the silent plane now bathed in floodlights. Then a sliver of black quietly appears on the fuselage. It s a door opening from within.
Dr. Eph Goodweather, head of the CDC s New York team, enters and finds a cabin looking like a winged graveyard where everyone appears to be dead. As he begins to remove bodies for transport to the morgue, four victims are discovered miraculously alive-and relatively unscathed apart from complaints of disorientation and a strange soreness.
But this is just the beginning
At the same time, Eldrich Palmer, director of the global Stoneheart Group, monitors the JFK scene on TV from his sickbed in Virginia. Pleased with what he sees, he sends for a helicopter for immediate transport to a Manhattan penthouse. In Queens, Eph s ex-wife Kelley and their 11-year-old son ready themselves with the rest of the Eastern United States for the first total lunar eclipse in more than four hundred years. In a pawn shop in Spanish Harlem, a former professor and survivor of the Nazi concentration camps named Abraham Setrakian takes it all in. He knows that his time has come, that a war is about to begin, and that the Master is Here.
So begins an escalating battle of epic proportions as the vampiric virus that has infected the four survivors begins to ravage the city. Eph-guided by Setrakian, and joined by Vassily, a exterminator, Nora, Eph s CDC colleague, and Gus, a Harlem gangbanger-fights his way through the next horrifying days, determined to save his wife and son before the Master succeeds in his unholy mission.

ahhhh....Guillermo Del Toro,
Ce commentaire fait référence à cette édition : The Strain: Book One of The Strain Trilogy (Relié)
Vous allez dire,encore une histoire de vampires...oui,mais non!
Ces vampires là ne vous donnent pas un seul instant envie de sympathiser avec eux...Ce n'est pas Edward Cullen en face de vous,mais la plus ignoble des créatures que la terre ai jamais porté!!! Une écriture électrisante,des poussées d'adrénaline,des frayeurs,ce livre ne vous laisse pas un seul moment de répit!!!Vous en aurez pour votre argent car avec Guillermo Del Torro aux commandes,le mythe vampirique est revisité façon trash et gore. Son univers cinématographique (Hellboy,Labyrinthe de Pan,Blade!!et bientôt Bilbo le Hobbitt ainsi que l'adaptation de ce livre) empiète sur son univers littéraire pour notre plus grand plaisir.
