The legendary Keanu Reeves and inimitable writer China Miville 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. Whos seen a thousand civilizations rise and fall. He has had many names: Unute, Child of Lightning, Death himself. These days, hes 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 Mivilles singular style and creativity with Reevess 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.
