The Cloven: Book Two

Autor Garth Stein Ilustrat de Matthew Southworth
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 29 aug 2023
In the eagerly anticipated Book Two, Dr. Kenneth Langner, a world-renowned geneticist and creator of the Cloven species, reveals himself to Seattle Stranger reporter Jake Arthur, who continues his in-depth research on the homeless encampment known as 'the Jungle.' When Langner turns up dead the next morning, Arthur realises he's into something far more sinister than he realised. Meanwhile, in an effort to evade the para-military that have begun rounding up Cloven, Tuck is taken to Halcyon Meadows, a bizarre retreat of the true insiders - Supreme court justices, ex-presidents, movie stars, rock musicians, health gurus - those who are really in the know and who gather there every summer to worship goats. And to celebrate the existence of the first human/goat hybrid: The Cloven. And that's when things really start to get weird. Moody and mysterious and atmospheric as a fever dream, The Cloven is a raucous, funny, and dynamic sci-fi graphic novel series about James 'Tuck' Tucker, a genetically modified human organism known as a Cloven, written by Garth Stein (The Art of Racing in the Rain) and drawn by Matthew Southworth (co-creator of the graphic novel series Stumptown), two of today's bestselling and critically acclaimed storytellers.

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
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.
