内容简介
For Kivrin, preparing an on-site study of one of the deadliest eras in humanity's history was as simple as receiving inoculations against the diseases of the fourteenth century and inventing an alibi for a woman traveling alone. For her instructors in the twenty-first century, it meant painstaking calculations and careful monitoring of the rendezvous location where Kivrin would be received.
But a crisis strangely linking past and future strands Kivrin in a bygone age as her fellows try desperately to rescue her. In a time of superstition and fear, Kivrin -- barely of age herself -- finds she has become an unlikely angel of hope during one of history's darkest hours.
Five years in the writing by one of science fiction's most honored authors, Doomsday Book is a storytelling triumph. Connie Willis draws upon her understanding of the universalities of human nature to explore the ageless issues of evil, suffering and the indomitable will of the human spirit.
作者简介
康妮·威利斯（Connie Willis）：史上荣获“雨果奖” “星云奖”最多的作者，最强悬念制造者，已入选科幻名人堂。
自1983年以来，她已十获雨果奖，六获星云奖，外加十三次雨果奖提名和八次星云奖提名，奖项更是从超短篇到短篇、中篇、长篇，一应俱全。
康妮·威利斯作品风格多样，她既能写很传统的科幻小说，例如《镜中的西顿》、《撒马利亚人》和《忧郁的月亮》；也能写立意深刻的社会派科幻小说，例如《未知领域》、《重拍》；更能写所谓的“软”科幻——科学在这些小说中成了背景的一部分，而非关注的焦点。
从文学的角度讲，康妮·威利斯文笔平和、淡雅、琐碎而蕴含张力，是公认的将风尚喜剧带进写作的作家之一。
Doomsday Book是1993年由Spectra出版,作者ConnieWillis。
