The Book of Elsewhere

The legendary Keanu Reeves and inimitable writer China Miéville team up on this genre-bending epic of ancient powers modern war and an outcast who cannot die.

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.
