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.

It’s clever, brilliant and horrifying.’ Daily Mail‘A rattlingly good read . . . 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 . . . 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. . . 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. . . a well-written treat for fans of modern mythologizing.’ Kirkus ReviewsSunday Times bestseller, August 2024

Keanu Reeves sagt: Time to go BRZRK! Ein Krieg ohne Ende, ein Mann ohne Grenzen: B – halb Mensch, halb Gott – ist verflucht und kann sich dem Sirenengesang der Gewalt nicht entziehen. Auch wenn dies bedeutet, dass sein Verstand pausenlos auf der scharfen Messerklinge des Wahnsinns balanciert … Nach Jahrhunderten eines Lebens im unstillbaren Blutrausch scheint B nun bei der US-Regierung einen Zufluchtsort gefunden zu haben und kämpft für diese in jenen Schlachten, die für alle anderen zu gewalttätig und gefährlich erscheinen. Im Austausch für seine Dienste wird B die Erfüllung seines größten Begehrens in Aussicht gestellt: die Wahrheit über seine blutdürstige unsterbliche Existenz zu erfahren … und wie man dieser ein Ende bereiten kann. Keanu Reeves dringt mit BRZRKR in ganz neue Gefilde vor und präsentiert uns zusammen mit New-York-Times-Bestsellerautor Matt Kindt (FOLKLORDS, GRASS KINGS) sowie dem gefeierten Künstler Ron Garney (JUGGERNAUT) eines der wohl brutalsten, actiongeladensten Comic-Debüts aller Zeiten!

Der Preis der Freiheit B – halb Mensch, halb Gott – ist verflucht und kann sich dem Sirenengesang der Gewalt nicht entziehen … Er macht sich nun auf, ein weiteres Mal die Welt zu durchwandern. Nachdem er die Strapazen einer Reihe von Experimenten und Missionen überwunden hat, werden Bs Erinnerungen an seine Herkunft endlich wiederhergestellt. Nun steht es in den Sternen, was dies für Bs Zukunft bedeuten könnte … und schließlich auch seine Freiheit. Man muss kein Genie sein, um zu erraten, dass die US-Regierung nur ungern eine so wertvolle Ressource wie B und seine Gewaltbereitschaft aufgeben will. So stellt sich die alles entscheidende Frage: Welchen Preis würdest du für die wahre Freiheit zahlen? Keanu Reeves, New-York-Times-Bestsellerautor Matt Kindt (FOLKLORDS, GRASS KINGS) sowie der gefeierte Künstler Ron Garney (JUGGERNAUT) liefern uns im zweiten Band ein weiteres Kapitel kompromissloser Gewalt.

«Necesitábamos una herramienta —dijo ella—.Así que se la pedí a los dioses».Siempre ha habido rumores, leyendas, el guerrero que no puede ser asesinado, que ha visto mil civilizaciones levantarse y caer, el guerrero de incontables nombres: Unute, el Hijo del Rayo, la Muerte misma… A quien en estos días se le conoce simplemente como «B».Y él sólo anhela ser capaz de morir.Un grupo de operaciones encubiertas del ejército estadounidense le promete conseguir su destino de muerte, todo lo que tiene que hacer a cambio es ayudarles. Pero cuando un soldado vuelve a la vida, el suceso imposible acaba apuntando hacia una fuerza aún más recóndita y, al menos igual de poderosa, que la del propio B. Una fuerza que persigue sus propios objetivos.«Una colaboración excepcionalmente innovadora de dos mentes extraordinarias». William Gibson, autor de Neuromante

From cinematic legend Keanu Reeves comes four brutal tales from the blood-soaked pages of the Immortal Saga. In The Lost Book of B, the immortal warrior becomes a pawn of none other than Genghis Khan himself. As the berserker is used to destroy, devastate, and pave the way for the Silk Road, he must battle against his seemingly unstoppable violent urges and break free from the hold the warlord has over him. In Poetry of Madness, a sea of gore and devastation awaits as B. safeguards the advanced and ancient realm of Atlantis as its unstoppable protector. But the machinations of a secret cult might spell a monstrous end for the legendary city, one beyond even B.'s ability to save. In Fallen Empire, a ruined kingdom has a single living survivor. In this tragic story of death and cataclysm, she recounts a fable of lost love, and bloody vengeance. In A Faceful of Bullets, B. finds himself in the snowy wilds of pre-Civil War Missouri, and caught up in the conflict involving a land baroness's father and an abolitionist. After a deadly series of events, he's mistaken for an angel, one to be used for vengeful purposes...
