Riassunto

Dying young, a brilliant Mathematician enters the afterlife and discovers a way to cheat the terrifying Divine Calculator. He schemes to be endlessly reincarnated within the lifespan of the woman he loves, no matter how often the violent bailiffs of the Karmic Accountancy cut-short each life. It falls to one such agent - the surly Bastard Zane - to put a stop to the time-twisting romance!

Su questo libro

Recensione:

"Spurrier s storytelling is crisp and straightforward, while having complex workings beneath the main narrative that explore quite comprehensively the concepts of life, death, predetermination, free will, and reincarnation. Artist Holden (Judge Dredd) provides expressive artwork that demarcates life in lustrous color and the afterlife in stark black-and-white illustrations accentuated by flowing grey ink washes. Tensions run high in this volume, setting up a truly engrossing read." --Library Journal, starred review

"A time-twisting-heart-warming-metaphysical-adventure story." --Starburst

"Numbercruncher is wonderful, a big, slightly grumpy slice of top class British supernatural fiction. Cheerfully profane, wonderfully grim and with just a touch of love, humour and hope this is an afterlife you wouldn t want permanent employment in. Another top notch title from Titan s new comic line." --SFX

""Numbercruncher" is one of the sleeping giants of recent comics and if you like clever stories that are fantastical and deal in high concepts while remaining earthy and humorous, and even managing to be disarmingly violent, then don't miss this book." - Bleeding Cool

"This is one clever comic book. If you like fiction that makes you think this might be exactly what you're looking for, because there are layers upon layers in this book that'll keep you guessing as to the intentions and actions of the protagonist. By book's end you'll find yourself enjoying one hell of a love story and one complex, intricate science fiction story." - Adventures in Poor Taste

"A comic book that actually makes you think and reflect on life." - Retrenders
