书籍简介

在一个无暇的世界里，还有什么好害怕的呢？ 《纽约时报》畅销书作家尼尔·舒斯特曼创作的一部令人毛骨悚然、发人深省的科幻小说。

这是一部黑暗、扣人心弦、诙谐的惊悚片，其中人类能控制的就是死亡。

在一个疾病、战争和犯罪都被消灭的世界里，死亡方式就是被专业的镰刀随机杀死（“捡拾”）。 西特拉和罗文是被选为镰刀学徒的青少年，尽管他们不想从事这一职业，但他们必须学习杀戮的艺术并了解他们所做的事情的需要性。

他们中只有一个会被选为镰刀的学徒，当西特拉和罗文遇到可怕的腐败的镰刀教时，很明显，获胜的学徒的任务将是收集失败的学徒。

In a perfect world, what is there left to fear? A chilling and thought-provoking sci-fi novel from New York Times bestselling author Neal Shusterman.

A dark, gripping and witty thriller in which the only thing humanity has control over is death.

In a world where disease, war and crime have been eliminated, the only way to die is to be randomly killed ("gleaned") by professional scythes. Citra and Rowan are teenagers who have been selected to be scythes' apprentices, and despite wanting nothing to do with the vocation, they must learn the art of killing and understand the necessity of what they do.

Only one of them will be chosen as a scythe's apprentice and as Citra and Rowan come up against a terrifyingly corrupt Scythedom, it becomes clear that the winning apprentice's first task will be to glean the loser.
