Abner Marsh has had his wish come true – he has built the Fevre Dream, the finest steamship to sail the Mississippi. Abner hopes to race the boat some day, but his partner is making it hard for him to realise his dreams. Joshua York put up the money for the Fevre Dream, but now rumours have started about his the company he keeps, his odd eating habits and strange hours. As the Dream sails the great river, it leaves in it’s a wake one too many dark tales, forcing Abner to face down the man who made his dreams become reality.
When struggling riverboat captain Abner Marsh receives an offer of partnership from a wealthy aristocrat, he suspects something's amiss. But when he meets the hauntingly pale, steely-eyed Joshua York, he is certain. For York doesn't care that the icy winter of 1857 has wiped out all but one of Marsh's dilapidated fleet. Nor does he care that he won't earn back his investment in a decade. York has his own reasons for wanting to traverse the powerful Mississippi. And they are to be none of Marsh's concern—no matter how bizarre, arbitrary, or capricious his actions may prove.Marsh meant to turn down York's offer. It was too full of secrets that spelled danger. But the promise of both gold and a grand new boat that could make history crushed his resolve—coupled with the terrible force of York's mesmerizing gaze. Not until the maiden voyage of his new sidewheeler Fevre Dream would Marsh realize he had joined a mission both more sinister, and perhaps more noble, than his most fantastic nightmare…and mankind's most impossible dream.Here is the spellbinding tale of a vampire's quest to unite his race with humanity, of a garrulous riverman's dream of immortality, and of the undying legends of the steamboat era and a majestic, ancient river.
夜之子民,书中这样的称呼他们,只能生活在晚上,不能照射阳光,第一反应便是那可怕又漂亮的吸血鬼,可是他们只有在固定的时间里才发生血饥,相比吸血鬼之名,我更喜欢称他们为古老的物种。 《热夜之梦》,一艘船的名字,看起来让人有着梦幻、兴奋的感觉,登上船的人们也为她...
评分这本书我觉得镜头感很好,段落也十分清晰,删减点可以直接当剧本用,很适合影像化,而且对特技效果应该也没有太大的需求,拍成一部落英神斧林肯那样的片子成本应该不高,好莱坞怎么没人动动这方面的念头呢。.....暮光之城那么烂的东西却能一连拍四部.........这世道啊.........
评分前天连夜读完了《热夜之梦》,译文版的,一口气的。我一口气读下去的心理历程,从勉勉强强,到有意思,到有点精彩,接着就是好无聊,作者写的啥,这位作者真是写冰与火的那位吗各种各样的滑坡。 也许这种写法在当时的吸血鬼文学界很好,不过我并不买账。我是个半拉子吸血鬼迷,...

评分热夜之梦。 开头几章看得昏昏欲睡,几读几弃。 故事的开头真的相当无聊,平铺直叙,无扣子,无悬念,更无矛盾冲突,甚至连新颖点的设定和人物都没有。如果说大量写实风格的汽船描写还能说是蒸汽机的情怀使然,那各种琐碎且无意义的细节、对话简直就是催眠药了。19世纪中期的蒸...
