Dead Astronauts is a story of hatred and revenge, of redemption and love, of environmental disaster and rebirth. If they persevere-and I highly recommend they do-they will become immersed in a world that has the bones of those previous books but is so much more. “Those expecting a novel with a similar feel and structure to Borne and The Strange Bird may initially find Dead Astronauts confounding. Highly recommended for those interested in sf invested in ecological concerns and speculative fiction that plays with narrative form.”

“The varied points of view and stylistic shifts of the narrative allow the reader to experience reality through the eyes of different characters, human and otherwise, and the struggle of different forms of life trying to survive unites the vignettes that form the bulk of the novel.

With Dead Astronauts, Jeff VanderMeer continues to expand and explore the mind-bending world of Borne at the top of his game. This is not just one world, but many.and can these worlds be saved? A leviathan waits, as do other versions of yourself, and a mysterious former comrade known as Charlie X. Where a fight in which the duck may or may not be on your side. This is a world where a blue fox is an echo across space and time, prophetic. The City is overrun with the results of the Company’s ill-considered experiments.

Grayson, Moss, and Chen are astronauts turned rebels, navigating version upon version of a nameless City created by the villainous, all-powerful Company, familiar to readers as part of the Borne universe. “There shall come three humans across the burning sands…” We're upgrading the paper to 80# Finch from our usual stock.
