The Book of Elsewhere

Från Keanu Reeves Brzrkr-universum kommer nu ett nytt samarbetsprojekt, den här gången med hyllade SF- och fantasyförfattaren China Miéville!

B är en uråldrig och odödlig krigare. Efter att ha sett tusen civilisationer skapas och falla är han trött på jordelivet. Han får kontakt med en amerikansk black-ops grupp som lovar att om B hjälper dem så har de ett sätt att uppfylla hans önskan, att få dö. Men planer går sällan som de ska, en ännu starkare och mer mystisk kraft dyker upp som inte vill att B ska gå vidare.

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.
