NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
An âaction-packed [and] profoundly stylishâ (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
â[The Book of Elsewhere is] a pulpy, adrenaline-fueled thriller, but itâs also a moody, experimental novel about mortality, the slippery nature of time, and what it means to be human.ââThe New York Times
âAn exceptionally innovative collaboration from two remarkable minds.ââWilliam 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. Whoâs seen a thousand civilizations rise and fall. He has had many names: Unute, Child of Lightning, Death himself. These days, heâs known simply as âB.âÂ
And he wants to be able to die.
Â
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.
Â
In a collaboration that combines Miévilleâs singular style and creativity with Reevesâs 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.
