THE BOOK OF ELSEWHERE

A cadre of stunning narrators--including both authors--bring this unusual tale to life. The focus is an immortal warrior who is seeking the release of death. Unute was born untold ages ago to a human woman and a literal bolt of lightning. In modernity, Unute works alongside a military group as they seek to cure his immortality. Keanu Reeves and China Miéville narrate a few sections of the story, specifically the chapters told from an eclectic cast of characters' perspectives. The unusual story shifts from military thriller to an introspective memoir as Unute attempts to understand himself. The narrators capture the ear as the story becomes an intriguing exploration of an ageless and godlike being with an intense power of empathy.
