被骗者:一名牛津大学学者、一位备受尊敬的上流社会名医、一位优雅的法国艺术品商人,以及一位迷人的英国勋爵。他们有一个共同点:一夜之间,这几位投资新手毕生的积蓄都落入了同一个人的口袋。骗局主角:Harvey Metcalfe。一个聪明绝顶、自学成才的骗术大师。一个极度危险的人物。而现在,他成了一个被追捕的人。在输无可输的情况下,这四位各自领域的专家即将联手。他们的计划是:找到 Harvey,跟踪他,设计困住他,一分不差地彻底摧毁他。从蒙特卡洛(Monte Carlo)的豪华赌场到阿斯科特(Ascot)的豪赌窗口,再到熙熙攘攘的……

……比在地铁里读轻松。《编码宝典》(Cryptonomicon)我已经读了大概15遍(加上听有声书还会更多点),《雪崩》(Snow Crash)、《飞越修道院》(Anathem)和《解密危机》(Reamde)大概也就读过几遍。我最喜欢重读的书是杰弗里·阿彻的《一分钱不能多,一分钱不能少》(Not a Penny More, Not a Penny Less)。我现在估计都重读了50遍了,而且我还收了两本第一版。人的脑回路真奇怪,指不定就迷上哪本书了!
…easier than subway reading. Cryptonomicon I am at about 15 reads (including audio book listens a few more), and maybe a handful for Snow Crash, Anathem and Reamde. My book of choice for re-reading is Not a Penny More, Not a Penny Less, by Jeffrey Archer. I must be at 50 re-reads of that now, and I own two first editions. Strange what catches your mind!
……这些评论,我觉得你根本不知道我在说哪本书/哪个作者。《冰与火之歌》(A Song of Ice and Fire)不是单单一本小说,而是一部跨越八卷的史诗巨著。这不像杰弗里·阿彻的《一分钱不能多,一分钱不能少》是部独立小说,也不像斯蒂芬·金的《11/22/63》那样也是单本完结。我可没屏息苦等什么《11/22/64》还非逼着金写续集。完全不是一码事。为什么……
…comments, I think that you don't know which book/author I am talking about. A song of Ice and Fire is not a single, individual novel. It is an epic saga which is broken across eight books. This is not like 'not a penny more, not a penny less' which was a standalone book by Jeffrey Archer or 11.22.63, another standalone book by Stephen King. I am not holding my breath out for 11.22.64 demanding that King write a sequel to it. No sir. Why…
