Keanu Reeves: The Book of Elsewhere, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • An "action-packed [and] profoundly stylish" (Los Angeles Times ) 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 "[The Book of Elsewhere is] 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."---The New York Times "An exceptionally innovative collaboration from two remarkable minds."---William Gibson, author of Neuromancer 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.
