HTML:<b>One of TIME’s 100 Best Fantasy Books of All Time<br /> Winner of the <i>L.A. Times</i> Ray Bradbury Prize <br /> Finalist for the 2019 National Book Award<br /></b><br /> <b>The <i>New York Times</i> Bestseller</b><br /> <b>Named a Best Book of 2019 by <i>The Wall Street Journal, TIME, NPR, GQ, Vogue,</i> and <i>The Washington Post</i><br /></b><br /> <b>"A fantasy world as well-realized as anything Tolkien made." —Neil Gaiman</b><br /> <b>"Gripping, action-packed....The literary equivalent of a Marvel Comics universe." —Michiko Kakutani, <i>The New York Times</i></b> <b><br /></b><br /> <b>The epic novel from the Man Booker Prize-winning author of <i>A Brief History of Seven Killings</i></b><br /> <b>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. <br /></b><br /> 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.<br /> 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?<br /> 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, <i>Black Leopard, Red Wolf</i> is both surprising and profound as it explores the fundamentals of truth, the limits of power, and our need to understand them both.
