Reviews
Praise for Black Leopard, Red Wolf : "Black Leopard, Red Wolf is the kind of novel I never realized I was missing until I read it. A dangerous, hallucinatory, ancient Africa, which becomes a fantasy world as well-realized as anything Tolkien made, with language as powerful as Angela Carter's. It's as deep and crafty as Gene Wolfe, bloodier than Robert E. Howard, and all Marlon James. It's something very new that feels old, in the best way. I cannot wait for the next installment." -- Neil Gaiman "This book begins like a fever dream and merges into world upon world of deadly fairy tales rich with political magic. Black Leopard, Red Wolf is a fabulous cascade of storytelling. Sink right in. I guarantee you will be swept downstream." -- Louise Erdrich "A miracle... If Charles R. Saunders' Imaro series opened the door to new ways of telling epic fantasy, and N.K. Jemisin's Inheritance trilogy leapt over the threshold, then Marlon James' Black Leopard, Red Wolf just ripped the whole damn door off its hinges." -- Tor.com "James' sensual, beautifully rendered prose and sweeping, precisely detailed narrative cast their own transfixing spell upon the reader. He not only brings a fresh multicultural perspective to a grand fantasy subgenre, but also broadens the genre's psychological and metaphysical possibilities. If this first volume is any indication, James' trilogy could become one of the most talked-about and influential adventure epics since George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire was transformed into Game of Thrones. " -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "An epic fantasy with deep roots in African history and myth... A thrilling story." -- Southern Living "A work of prodigious imagination capable of entrancing readers." --Publishers Weekly Praise for Marlon James and A Brief History of Seven Killings : "[A] tour de force." -- The Wall Street Journal "Sweeping, mythic, over-the-top, colossal, and dizzingly complex." -- The New York Times "Awe-inspiring." -- Entertainment Weekly "Thrilling, ambitious...both intense and epic." -- Los Angeles Times "It will come to be seen as a classic of our times." -- NPR "An astonishing portrait of the politics of everyday life...Just as he is sharply aware of the nuances of their voices, James has the confidence not to deny his characters their humanity by turning them into moral exemplars, nor paper over the infected wounds that score across the country by suggesting that the loveliness of some of its territory makes up for the savage effects of poverty." --The Washington Post, Praise for Black Leopard, Red Wolf : "Black Leopard, Red Wolf is the kind of novel I never realized I was missing until I read it.

Fuses mythology, fantasy, and African history into a sensual, psychological triumph." -- Esquire "James' sensual, beautifully rendered prose and sweeping, precisely detailed narrative cast their own transfixing spell upon the reader.

A thrilling story." -- Southern Living "With Black Leopard, Red Wolf , [Marlon James] brings us another epic story... Lyrically written and drawing from African history and mythology, Black Leopard, Red Wolf will be the book everyone is talking about." -- PopSugar "[Marlon James] throws pretty much every fantasy and horror creature known into this brilliantly chaotic mash-up of genres and styles. Readers will discover mermaids, vampires, zombies, and witches, along with edge-of-your-seat chills and cheeky humor. James' tale digs its hooks in and never lets go, rather like the claws of the flesh-eating Zogbanu trolls, or the teeth of a vicious ghommid. Yet for all the fantasy and action, James never loses sight of the human story... Gender-bending romance, fantastical adventure, and an Afrocentric setting make for an inventive and engaging read." -- Booklist "A work of prodigious imagination capable of entrancing readers." --Publishers Weekly Praise for Marlon James and A Brief History of Seven Killings : "[A] tour de force." -- The Wall Street Journal "Sweeping, mythic, over-the-top, colossal, and dizzingly complex." -- The New York Times "Awe-inspiring." -- Entertainment Weekly "Thrilling, ambitious...both intense and epic." -- Los Angeles Times "It will come to be seen as a classic of our times." -- NPR, Praise for Black Leopard, Red Wolf : "Black Leopard, Red Wolf is the kind of novel I never realized I was missing until I read it.

Synopsis
FINALIST FOR THE 2019 NATIONAL BOOK AWARD The New York Times Bestseller Named a Best Book of 2019 by The Washington Post "A fantasy world as well-realized as anything Tolkien made." --Neil Gaiman "Gripping, action-packed....The literary equivalent of a Marvel Comics universe." --Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times The epic novel, an African Game of Thrones , from the Man Booker Prize-winning author of A Brief History of Seven Killings In the stunning first novel in Marlon James's Dark Star trilogy, myth, fantasy, and history come together to explore what happens when a mercenary is hired to find a missing child. The perfect holiday gift for your book club friends. Tracker is known far and wide for his skills as a hunter: "He has a nose," people say. Engaged to track down a mysterious boy who disappeared three years earlier, Tracker breaks his own rule of always working alone when he finds himself part of a group that comes together to search for the boy. The band is a hodgepodge, full of unusual characters with secrets of their own, including a shape-shifting man-animal known as Leopard. As Tracker follows the boy's scent--from one ancient city to another; into dense forests and across deep rivers--he and the band are set upon by creatures intent on destroying them. As he struggles to survive, Tracker starts to wonder: Who, really, is this boy? Why has he been missing for so long? Why do so many people want to keep Tracker from finding him? And perhaps the most important questions of all: Who is telling the truth, and who is lying? Drawing from African history and mythology and his own rich imagination, Marlon James has written a novel unlike anything that's come before it: a saga of breathtaking adventure that's also an ambitious, involving read. Defying categorization and full of unforgettable characters, Black Leopard, Red Wolf is both surprising and profound as it explores the fundamentals of truth, the limits of power, and our need to understand them both., One of TIME's 100 Best Fantasy Books of All Time Winner of the L.A.
