Alan Moore and Kevin O'Neill steer their fifty-year-long Nemo
trilogy to its pulse-pounding and heart-wrenching conclusion.
In a world where all the fictions ever written coalesce into a rich
mosaic, it's 1975. Janni Dakkar, pirate queen of Lincoln Island and head
of the fabled Nemo family, is eighty years old and beginning to display
a tenuous grasp on reality. Pursuing shadows from her past -- or her
imagination -- she embarks on what may be a final voyage down the
vastness of the Amazon, a last attempt to put to rest the blood-drenched
spectres of old. With allies and adversaries old and new, we accompany
an aging predator on her obsessive trek into the cultural landscape of a
strange new continent, from the ruined city of Yu-Atlanchi to the
fabulous plateau of Maple White Land. As the dark threads in her
narrative are drawn into an inescapable web, Captain Nemo leads her
hearse-black Nautilus in a desperate raid on horrors believed dead for
decades.
Through the exotic spectacle of an imagined South America, Moore and
O'Neil guide their readers through this epic final act, borne upon a
River of Ghosts.
