Matteo Alacrán was

not born; he was harvested. His 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 Alacr n Estate is no guarantee of freedom, because

Matt is marked by his difference in ways he doesn't even

suspect.

媒体评论

Nancy Farmer, a two-time Newbery honoree, surpasses even her

marvelous novel, The Ear, The Eye and the Arm in the breathless

action and fascinating characters of The House of the Scorpion.

Readers will be reminded of Orson Scott Card's Ender in Matt's

persistence and courage in the face of a world that intends to use

him for its own purposes, and of Louis Sachar's Holes in the

camaraderie of imprisoned boys and the layers of meaning embedded

in this irresistibly compelling story. (Ages 12 and older) --Patty

Campbell --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

　　From Publishers Weekly

　　Farmer's (A Girl Named Disaster; The Ear, the Eye and the Arm)

novel may be futuristic, but it hits close to home, raising

questions of what it means to be human, what is the value of life,

and what are the responsibilities of a society. Readers will be

hooked from the first page, in which a scientist brings to life one

of 36 tiny cells, frozen more than 100 years ago. The result is the

protagonist at the novel's center, Matt a clone of El Patron, a

powerful drug lord, born Matteo Alacr n to a poor family in a small

village in Mexico. El Patro n is ruler of Opium, a country that

lies between the United States and Aztl n, formerly Mexico; its

vast poppy fields are tended by eejits, human beings who attempted

to flee Aztl n, programmed by a computer chip implanted in their

brains. With smooth pacing that steadily gathers momentum, Farmer

traces Matt's growing awareness of what being a clone of one of the

most powerful and feared men on earth entails. Through the kindness

of the only two adults who treat Matt like a human Celia, the cook

and Matt's guardian in early childhood, and Tam Lin, El Patron's

bodyguard Matt experiences firsthand the evils at work in Opium,

and the corruptive power of greed ("When he was young, he made a

choice, like a tree does when it decides to grow one way or the

other... most of his branches are twisted," Tam Lin tells Matt).

The author strikes a masterful balance between Matt's idealism and

his intelligence. The novel's close may be rushed, and Tam Lin's

fate may be confusing to readers, but Farmer grippingly

demonstrates that there are no easy answers. The questions she

raises will haunt readers long after the final page. Ages

11-14.

　　Review

　　Nancy Farmer's latest novel for young people depicts a chilling

vision of the future - a world where clones are reared so that

their organs may prolong the lives of the favoured few, and other

unfortunates have computer implants inserted into their brains to

render them utterly submissive. Far-fetched? Maybe; but Farmer

writes so convincingly that such a world seems dreadfully possible.

The story is set in a timeless future where El Patron has supreme

control over Opium, a stretch of land between the USA and what used

to be Mexico. The country's economy depends on drugs, and El Patron

has dragged himself up from the gutter to a position of

unassailable authority. But El Patron is 148 years old and his life

is ebbing away. It is time to breed another clone to provide the

essential body parts to keep him going for a few more years. Matteo

Alacran is that clone, but it is not until he is six years old and

meets some of El Patron's family, that he learns the truth about

his background, how he was cultivated from a piece of El Patron's

skin, and incubated inside a cow. Brought up by his devoted

surrogate mother Celia, Matt has only ever known affection, but all

that is set to change - as a clone he is reviled and abused as the

lowest of the low, despite the apparent protection offered by El

Patron. Matt finally confronts the truth about El Patron's motives

in keeping him alive, and realizes he must escape or die. Yet Matt

flees only to find himself in even greater danger. Relying on only

his native wit and the new friends he has acquired on the way, Matt

is finally able to confront the truth about his past and look

forward to the future with renewed hope. Profoundly disturbing, and

almost too convincing, this is a captivating read which also raises

serious moral and ethical questions. This is science fiction as

'science faction' - the reader cannot put this book aside and say,

with any conviction, 'that could never happen'. Farmer has already

established a considerable reputation as a children's author,

winning several awards and commendations; this novel will introduce

this exciting writer to a wider readership, and earn her the

increased recognition she so richly deserves. Ages 13+ (Kirkus UK)

　　Review

　　Kirkus, starred reviewAn inspiring tale of friendship, survivial,

hope, and transcendence

　　Booklist, starred reviewThis is a powerful, ultimately hopeful

story that builds on today's sociopolitical, ethical, and

scientific issues and prognosticates a compelling picture of what

the future could bring. All of these serious issues are held

together by a remarkable coming-of-age story.
