Opis
A mind-blowing epic from Keanu Reeves and China Miéville, unlike anything these two genre-bending pioneers have created before, inspired by the world of the BRZRKR comic books.
'An exceptionally innovative collaboration from two remarkable minds.' - William Gibson, author of Neuromancer
'A gripping, hugely intelligent and beautifully-realised nightmare. It's clever, brilliant and horrifying.' - Daily Mail
'A pulpy, adrenaline-fueled thriller, but it's also a moody, experimental novel about mortality, the slippery nature of time and what it means to be human.' - New York Times
'Bloody fun.' - Telegraph
'Reeves and Mieville's novel turns a (literally) comic book into a meditation on what it means to be truly alive that's both affecting and enigmatic.' - SFX
She said, We needed a tool. So I asked the gods.
There have always been whispers. Legends. The warrior who cannot be killed. Who's seen a thousand civilizations rise and fall. He has had many names: Unute, Child of Lightning, Death himself. These days, he's known simply as "B."
And he wants to be able to die.
In the present day, a U.S. black-ops group has promised him they can help with that. And all he needs to do is help them in return. But when an all-too-mortal soldier comes back to life, the impossible event ultimately points toward a force even more mysterious than B himself. One at least as strong. And one with a plan all its own.
In a collaboration that combines Miéville's singular style and creativity with Reeves's haunting and soul-stirring narrative, these two inimitable artists have created something utterly unique, sure to delight existing fans and to create scores of new ones.
'A delight . . . let Keanu Reeves punch and shoot his way onto your summer reading list … a philosophical, violent thriller about an immortal soldier pondering the nature of existence, The Book of Elsewhere has an elegance that might surprise you for a pulp thriller.' - Polygon
'Stylistically daring, combining sf, fantasy, parascience, history, and action. It's violent, propulsive, and introspective, ultimately offering a philosophical exploration of identity and the meaning of mortality, chaos, and entropy. . . whatever it is, it works.' - Booklist
'It's clear that Reeves and Miéville are having fun with the tale and its often playful, even poetic language. . . a well-written treat for fans of modern mythologizing.' - Kirkus Reviews
