The Book of Elsewhere: A Novel

NEW YORK TIMES<\/i> BESTSELLER • An “action-packed [and] profoundly stylish” (Los Angeles Times<\/i>) epic from Keanu Reeves and China Miéville, unlike anything these two genre-bending pioneers have created before, inspired by the world of the BRZRKR<\/i> comic books<\/b>

“[The Book of Elsewhere <\/i>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<\/i><\/b>

“An exceptionally innovative collaboration from two remarkable minds.”—William Gibson, author of Neuromancer<\/i><\/b>

She said, We needed a tool. So I asked the gods.<\/i>
<\/i>
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.”
<\/i>
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.<\/P>"
