"Fjortonårige Thomas Evans tar jobb på Sir John Franklins expedition
för att hitta Nordvästpassagen – en nordlig genväg från Europa till
Asien. Två skepp med 135 män lämnar Greenhithe utanför London 19 maj
1845. Efter ett kort stopp vid Diskobukten på Grönlands västkust
fortsätter de in i Lancastersundet mot Kanadas norra kust.
Under de följande 170 åren har forskare och vetenskapsmän försökt
kartlägga vad som hände med besättningen. Den här boken berättar
Thomas Evans öde."

"All people could do was speculate on the fate of those who vanished -
strangers; seemingly random, unconnected: all plucked from their lives and
never seen again. The notes found left behind, apparently describing some
slender reason for their removal, were all that linked them. They were all
delivered by one man.
Rodney Moon had admitted seeing those who had
been disappeared and to passing the notes, but denied any involvement
beyond that. Who wrote the letters, then? Moon shrugged during the trial:
'It has no name,' he said. 'It's a bogeyman. A monster.'
He was not
mourned when the vengeful bereft finally found him.
Some years later,
four strangers; seemingly random, unconnected, all take the last train
home. But something each of them has forgotten - or is trying to forget -
is catching up with them; with a terrible, inexorable purpose. The devil is
in the detail, as they say."

"Once upon a time, at twothirty in the afternoon, on the enchanted
island of York, lived a Wizard. Wearing a big hat to mask his identity,
Cheech Wizard is a lascivious con man whose magical powers are questionable
but despite his transgressions (or perhaps because of them), he
possesses some degree of cosmic insight. He has met his maker (legendary
underground cartoonist Vaughn Bodé, making a divine cartoon cameo), died
and been reborn, and gained popculture immortality as a worldwide icon of
hip hop and street art.
For the first time, the Book of Me gathers all of Vaughn Bodé's
seminal Cheech Wizard comics into a single essential volume, along
with rare and previously unpublished sketches and Cheech's outrageous
continued adventures by Mark Bodé.
It's the biggest, baddest, ballbustingest Book of Cheech ever!"

Mer absurdisme fra Dilberts latterlige men gjenkjennelige moderne
arbeidsplass. Adams har blitt rik på stripene og tegneseriebøkene sine,
men ennå har han ikke mistet blikket for tilværelsen som arbeidstaker i
et miljø av elendige sjefer, idiotiske prosjekter og dustete nymotens
businesspråk. Og det er fortsatt morsomt.
