The House of the Scorpion BSY492

US$13.95

Matteo Alacrán was not born; he was harvested. is DNA came from El Patrón, lord of a country called Opium--a strip of poppy fields lying between the United States and what was once called Mexico. Matt's first cell split and divided inside a petri dish. Then he was placed in the womb of a cow, where he continued the miraculous journey from embryo to fetus to baby. He is a boy now, but most consider him a monster--except for El Patrón. El Patrón loves Matt as he loves himself, because Matt is himself.

As Matt struggles to understand his existence, he is threatened by a sinister cast of characters, including El Patrón's power-hungry family, and he is surrounded by a dangerous army of bodyguards. Escape is the only chance Matt has to survive. But escape from the Alacrán Estate is no guarantee of freedom, because Matt is marked by his difference in ways he doesn't even suspect.

马特一出生就与众不同:
第一,他是三十六个冷冻百年的人体细胞植入母牛体内存活下来的唯一一个克隆人
第二,他违反了法律,成为了保留智力的唯一一个克隆人
七岁以前,马特被关在罂粟田里的一个小木屋中,过着完全与世隔绝的生活,直到有一天,他被三个小孩无意中发现.....
被关在在阿尔帕特隆庄园那间堆满了锯末、像鸡窝一样脏乱的房间里,马特终日矛蟑螂为伍,与烂骨头作伴。他被一群险恶的保镖、大脑里装有电脑芯片的呆瓜保卫者,并莫名其妙地被卷入阿尔帕特隆一家倾轧纷争的漩涡之中......
逃跑似乎成了其唯一的选择,究竟他能否成功?
阴森的蝎子之家中又有着多少见不得人的秘密?
