"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 "Action-packed, ultraviolent and morally ambiguous . . . a profoundly stylish and beautiful approach to the trials and tribulations of the ancient warrior who cannot die . . . an enjoyable action-mystery cut through with moments of existential melancholy . . . [the] brimful imagination and impeccable style make it a deeply pleasurable read."
--LA Times "A surprisingly, even rattlingly good read . . . A blood-spattered, era-spanning action thriller,
The Book of Elsewhere manages to lift and twist its unbelievably sanguinary source material into a meditation on the cyclical nature of violence."
--The Sunday Times "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."
