NYT bestselling writer Jeff VanderMeer has been called “the weird Thoreau” by the New Yorker for his engagement with ecological issues. At stake: the fate of the future, the fate of Earth – all the Earths. Jeff VanderMeer's Dead Astronauts presents a City with no name of its own where, in the shadow of the all-powerful Company, lives human and otherwise converge in terrifying and miraculous ways. A raving madman who wanders the desert lost in the past, haunted by his own creation: an invisible monster whose name he has forgotten and whose purpose remains hidden. Three ragtag rebels waging an endless war for the fate of the world against an all-powerful corporation. A giant leviathan of a fish, centuries old, who hides a secret, remembering a past that may not be its own. A homeless woman haunted by a demon who finds the key to all things in a strange journal. A blue fox, a giant fish and language stretched to the limit.Ī messianic blue fox who slips through warrens of time and space on a mysterious mission. Under the watchful eye of The Company, three characters - Grayson, Moss and Chen - shapeshifters, amorphous, part human, part extensions of the landscape, make their way through forces that would consume them.
