Krátky popis
THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER - A mind-blowing 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. ‘An exceptionally innovative
collaboration from two remarkable minds.’ William Gibson, author of
Neuromancer‘What an extraordinary book! China Miéville’s brilliance
as a writer combined with Keanu Reeves’s quite magnificently wild
imagination make for a compulsive read. Unlike anything else.Boom!’
Stephen Fry‘A gripping, hugely intelligent and beautifully-realised
nightmare. It’s clever, brilliant and horrifying.’ Daily Mail‘A
rattlingly good read . .&,nbsp,. has much in common with
Reeves' best film roles.’ Sunday Times‘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.’ New York Times‘Exhilarating’ BBC Radio 4 Front Row'Bloody
fun.' Telegraph'Reeves and Mieville’s novel turns a (literally)
comic book into a meditation on what it means to be truly alive
that’s both affecting and enigmatic.’ SFX‘A sprawling blend of
hi-octane action sequences and philosophical meditations on life,
death and immortality that calls to mind Roger Zelazny’s Lord of
Light… An absorbing combination of sci-fi, mythology and
teleology.’ Irish Times-------------------------------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. ‘A delight . .&,nbsp,. let Keanu
Reeves punch and shoot his way onto your summer reading list … a
philosophical, violent thriller about an immortal soldier pondering
the nature of existence, The Book of Elsewhere has an elegance that
might surprise you for a pulp thriller.’ Polygon‘Stylistically
daring, combining sf, fantasy, parascience, history, and action.
It’s violent, propulsive, and introspective, ultimately offering a
philosophical exploration of identity and the meaning of mortality,
chaos, and entropy.&,nbsp,. . whatever it is, it works.’
Booklist‘It’s clear that Reeves and Miéville are having fun with
the tale and its often playful, even poetic language.&,nbsp,. .
a well-written treat for fans of modern mythologizing.’ Kirkus
