The Cloven: Book One de Garth Stein

The Cloven: Book One

Autor Garth Stein Ilustrat de Matthew Southworth
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 30 iul 2020
The world of The Cloven: a place where facts are malleable; where genetic 'experiments' live in the margins beneath the freeway. Where secret societies make all the real decisions about the fate of our world, where billionaires filled with hubris insist on tweaking the universe for our own good, where fear and anxiety seep from people's pores so that we d rather believe the scripted television news than something we've actually seen; and yet where searching for one s place in the world - searching for one's home - is still the most powerful yearning of a person's soul.

Descriere

James Tucker, known to his friends as 'Tuck', is one of the most significant experiments in human genetics. Created in a privately financed, top-secret laboratory on Vashon Island, Tuck is the most successful Genetically Modified Human Organism ever created. Conceived as a way to end world hunger, Tuck is, essentially, a ruminant: he has the digestive tract of a goat. However, while he is the best living example of a Cloven (as the project is dubbed), he is afflicted with other goat-like traits as well, which could not be successfully engineered out of the Cloven programme. Instead of feet, Tuck has cloven hoofs. He also has enlarged sinuses and a hardened skull - for maximum head-butting ability. Tuck is being held in a mysterious detention centre of some kind and hazy about how he got there. He's in his early 20s, and has been attending the University, passing himself off as a 'conventional', as Cloven call unmodified people. Everything has been going fine, until he showed a girl his hooves... Tuck's story unfurls like a conspiratorial fever dream spanning the Pacific Northwest, from the Jungle - a vast homeless encampment beneath the Interstate in downtown Seattle - to a secret sanctuary in the woods where a cabal of the wealthiest people in the world perform ritual goat sacrifices, and to a feral herd of Cloven living in the Cascade Mountains. Along with riveting action, lots of Parkour, and Tuck's nagging belief that his true home is out there somewhere, The Cloven Book One begins a raucous, funny, fast-moving, and dynamic series of graphic novels by two best-selling and critically acclaimed storytellers.
