Publisher: Apex Book Company
Apex is proud to present the first book in Grand Master Award winner Brian Keene's long-awaited new series, a loving ode to lost world classics like Burroughs's PELLUCIDAR, Howard's ALMURIC, and Lansdale's THE DRIVE-IN, but with a thoroughly modern twist that only Brian Keene could conceive.
When modern-day occultist Aaron Pace discovers the secrets of inter-dimensional travel via a mystical pathway called The Labyrinth, he wastes no time in exploring a multitude of strange new worlds and alternate realities. But then, Aaron finds himself trapped in the most bizarre dimension of all and mdash; a place where dinosaurs coexist with giant robots, where cowboys fight reptilian lizard people, and where even the grass can kill you. This is a world populated by the missing and the disappeared, a world where myth is reality and where the extinct is reborn. Now, side-by-side with his new companions Kasheena and Bloop, Aaron must learn to navigate its dangers and survive long enough to escape... THE LOST LEVEL.
Reviews:
and quot;Brian Keene and rsquo;s new novel, THE LOST LEVEL goes a long way towards capturing that feeling of headlong adventure on another world. and quot;
--Singular Points, Charles R. Rutledge
and quot;...there and rsquo;s simply no way I can and rsquo;t recommend it and mdash;it and rsquo;s probably the most well-written and ldquo;pulp and rdquo; novel you and rsquo;ll ever read, and its characters will stick with you the same way your favorite comic characters did as a kid. Keene has always specialized in relatable characters, and the same is true here. and quot;
