Reviews"A philosophical, violent thriller about an immortal soldier pondering the nature of his existence, The Book of Elsewhere has an elegance that might surprise you for a pulp thriller. . . . [Miéville's] presence as Reeves' narrative collaborator . . . immediately makes it more interesting, even for those who aren't already fans of the comic." --Polygon "An exceptionally innovative collaboration from two remarkable minds." --William Gibson, author of Neuromancer "It's clear that Reeves and Miéville are having fun with the tale and its often playful, even poetic language. . . . A well-written . . . treat for fans of modern mythologizing." -- Kirkus Reviews "It's 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. . . . Whatever it is, it works." -- Booklist, "An exceptionally innovative collaboration from two remarkable minds." --William Gibson, author of Neuromancer, "An exceptionally innovative collaboration from two remarkable minds." --William Gibson, author of Neuromancer "It's clear that Reeves and Miéville are having fun with the tale and its often playful, even poetic language. . . .

At the same time, the irreal, fragmented structure of the novel and the strength of its picturesque prose (at once accessible and lyrical) make it seem more like a venture into indie or small-press publishing--the last bastion, in my view, of genuinely innovative and experimental literature. I don't know if the co-authors intended to straddle this divide, but they have pulled it off in spades, producing what few have done before them: a work of high literary pulp science fiction and fantasy." -- Los Angeles Review of Books "An exceptionally innovative collaboration from two remarkable minds." --William Gibson, author of Neuromancer "It's clear that Reeves and Miéville are having fun with the tale and its often playful, even poetic language. . . .

SynopsisNEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * An "action-packed [and] profoundly stylish" ( 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 "[ The Book of Elsewhere 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 "An exceptionally innovative collaboration from two remarkable minds."--William 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. 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., NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - An "action-packed [and] profoundly stylish" ( 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 "[ The Book of Elsewhere 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 "An exceptionally innovative collaboration from two remarkable minds."--William Gibson, author of Neuromancer She said, We needed a tool.
