"A messianic blue fox who slips through warrens of time and space on a mysterious mission. A homeless woman, haunted by a demon, who finds the key to all things in a strange journal. Three ragtag rebels waging an endless war against a ruthless corporation. A raving madman who wanders the desert lost in the past, besieged by his own creation: an invisible monster whose purpose remains hidden. Jeff Vandermeer's Dead Astronauts presents a nameless City where, in the shadow of the all-powerful Company, lives human and otherwise converge in terrifying and miraculous ways. At stake: the fate of the future, the fate of Earth--and all the Earths."--Page 4 of cover.
