Author: Mosley, Walter

Condition: Used

Intergalactic visions, deadly threats, and explosive standoffs between mostly good and completely evil converge in a dystopian fantasy that could only be conceived by the inimitable Walter Mosley, one of the countrys most beloved and acclaimed writersMartin Just wakes up one morning after what feels like, and might actually be, a centuries-long sleep with two new innate pieces of knowledge: Humanity is a virus destined to destroy all existence. And he is the Cure.Martin begins slipping into an alternate consciousness, with new physical strengths, to violently defend his family-the only Black family in their neighborhood in the Hollywood Hills of Los Angeles- against pure evil. Think Octavia Butler meets Jeff VanderMeer meets Jordan Peele.Expansive and innovative, sexy and satirical, Touched brilliantly imagines the ways in which human life and technological innovation threaten existence itself.
