Charles Martinin romaania mainostetaan tulevalla elokuvalla, ja melkoista elokuvatehostemaisuutta tässä Helmetin e-kirjoista löytyvässä romaanissa onkin: The Mountain Between Us (Crown/Archetype, 2010; ISBN 9780307592491).
Romaani kertoo talviseen vuoristoiseen erämaahan putoavasta lentokoneesta ja kahdesta eloonjääneestä, toinen heistä jalka murtuneena. Romanttista siirappisuutta on kohtalaisessa määrin ympätty selviytymistarinaan, samaten kulman takaa kimppuun iskeviä yllätyksiä. Kieltämättä tarina koukutti, höttöisyydestä huolimatta.
Soon to be a major motion picture starring Kate Winslet and Idris Elba. An atmospheric, suspenseful and gripping story of two people finding love while fighting to survive.
When a blizzard strands them in Salt Lake City, two strangers agree to charter a plane together, hoping to return home; Ben Payne is a gifted surgeon returning from a conference, and Ashley Knox, a magazine writer, is en route to her wedding. But when unthinkable tragedy strikes, the pair find themselves stranded in Utah's most remote wilderness in the dead of winter, badly injured and miles from civilization. Without food or shelter, and only Ben's mountain climbing gear to protect themselves, Ashley and Ben's chances for survival look bleak, but their reliance on each other sparks an immediate connection, which soon evolves into something more.
Days in the mountains become weeks, as their hope for rescue dwindles. How will they make it out of the wilderness and if they do, how will this experience change them forever? Heart-wrenching and unputdownable, The Mountain Between Us will reaffirm your belief in the power of love to sustain us.
