The Book of Elsewhere

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 gripping, hugely intelligent and beautifully-realised nightmare. It’s clever, brilliant and horrifying. * Daily Mail *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 *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 *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 *An exceptionally innovative collaboration from two remarkable minds. * William Gibson, author of Neuromancer *Profoundly stylish and beautiful… Miéville’s keen eye, brimful imagination and impeccable style make it a deeply pleasurable read. * LA TIMES *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 *Bloody fun. * Telegraph *Exhilarating * BBC Radio 4 Front Row *
