I don't know, but is anybody else having a "vague" problem with this sentence? Is it odd that the feeling of being torn in half might be "new" to most people, not just "to him?" And not just new but "utterly new," as in, gee, I've never even come close to being torn into two pieces before. I mean, for it not to be new, you'd have to have survived being ripped in half once, right? Show me such a person, and I will give this sentence my blessing.

The quoted passage is hilarious and your commentary makes it even funnier. This is Cronin's book? Would have thought he'd know better.
You've done well to get to p241 if the rest of the writing is like this.
But perhaps Richards is a Royal Marine or similar and is used to being nearly torn in half until this moment when he is actually torn in half. What is the book?
The book is "The Passage," a very commerically exploitative horror book.
