NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • An “ action-packed [and] profoundly stylish” (Los Angeles Times) epic from Keanu Reeves and China Mié ville, 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 Mié ville’ 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.
