Blue War: A Punktown Novel
A jungle of blue vegetation in another dimension. Cloned human remains discovered in an otherwise empty city. The impending threat of a second inter-dimensional war. Just case for private investigator Jeremy Stake, the man with chameleon-like abilities he does not want but cannot ignore. When Stake is called in to investigate the significance of the cloned remains and the bizarre organic facsimile of Punktown that is growing out of the jungle, he finds himself drawn into a murky plot that could re-ignite the war between humans and Ha Jiin. Now he must find a way to stop it before it’s too late – for everyone.
"Punktown is searing and alien and anxious and rich, and it is humane, and it is moving. Jeffrey Thomas has done something wonderful." – China Mieville
"For a wild ride, readers will be hard-pressed to find a better vehicle than Thomas's bizarre multiverse; fans of cyberpunk noir and Lovecraftian horror will find much to enjoy in this messy, bravura hybrid." – Publisher’s Weekly (starred review) on Deadstock
