One book. Two readers. A world of mystery, menace, and desire.
The
chronicle of two readers finding each other, and their deadly struggle
with forces beyond their understanding -- all within the margins of a
book conceived by Star Wars: The Force Awakensdirector J.J. Abrams and written by award-winning novelist Doug Dorst.
The book: Ship of Theseus,
the final novel by a prolific but enigmatic writer named V.M. Straka,
in which a man with no past is shanghaied onto a strange ship with a
monstrous crew and launched onto a disorienting and perilous journey.
The
writer: Straka, the incendiary and secretive subject of one of the
world's greatest mysteries, a revolutionary about whom the world knows
nothing apart from the words he wrote and the rumors that swirl around
him.
The readers: Jennifer and Eric, a college senior and a
disgraced grad student, both facing crucial decisions about who they
are, who they might become, and how much they're willing to trust
another person with their passions, hurts, and fears.
