The chronicle of two readers finding each other, and their deadly struggle with forces beyond their understanding--all within the margins of a book conceived by Star Wars: The Force Awakens director J.J. Abrams and written by award-winning novelist Doug Dorst.
The book: Ship of Theseus, the final novel by a prolific but enigmatic writer named V.M. Straka, in which a man with no past is shanghaied onto a strange ship with a monstrous crew and launched onto a disorienting and perilous journey.
The writer: Straka, the incendiary and secretive subject of one of the world's greatest mysteries, a revolutionary about whom the world knows nothing apart from the words he wrote and the rumors that swirl around him.
A story within a story conceived by Abrams and executed by Dorst in which a copy of the "1949" book -- SHIP OF THESEUS -- by the mysterious "V. M. Straka," is traded back and forth between two college students trying to uncover the author's true identity (a la B. Traven). Purportedly written in 1949 by V. M. Straka, it is in fact a book written in 2013.
One book, two readers, a world of mystery, menace, and desire. Includes postcards, handwritten letters, press clippings.
