One Path Book Two - by Greg Broadmore & Andy Lanning (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

Book two of this four-part epic plunges One Path into a breakneck prehistoric chase across unending forests, valleys, and mountains, carrying a scorned child toward a life-giving treacle rumored to flow in the Towers. Closing in are Una's tribe and the White King--an ancient albino T-rex drawn to the child's power. Lushly illustrated, brutal, and breathtaking, One Path: The White King delivers 200 pages of high-stakes survival from Greg Broadmore & Andy Lanning, published by Mad Cave Studios.

In a brutal, breathtaking prehistory where cavegirls fight desperately to survive and dinosaurs rule the valleys, One Path flees her tribe with a "cursed" infant which she refuses to abandon. With a fierce young Runtling at her side, she drives toward the mythic Towers--vast, earthen spires said to hold life-saving sap, a treacle rich enough to keep the starving child alive.

Behind them, love twists into pursuit. Una, One Path's sister, leads a relentless war-band. Driving three subjugated T-rexes, they are determined to uphold their brutal laws and destroy the child they scorned. Worse still, Una's desperate gambit has roused an older terror: the White King, an ancient albino T-rex that rises from hibernation to claim its tribute. Drawn by the infant's vital scent and the promise of renewed power, the White King cuts a path of ruin across forest and plain, devouring anything that stands between it and the child.

Part chase, part odyssey, One Path: The White King hurtles through a landscape where hope is hunted and trust runs thin. As the Towers loom and the hunters close, One Path must choose what to risk, and who to become if she's to save the condemned child.

Review Quotes

"Everything Broadmore draws is under a stroboscope, in ragged nano-second snatches suspended in time. There is no time to catch your breath, reading One Path is an endurance race, at a pace beyond hectic. Read on, if you can keep up."--John Howe, artist (The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, King Kong)

There are certain artists in the world whose creations leave you feeling that no other person on earth could have produced them. Greg is one of these artists. His work is so distinctive and unique that it is immediately recognizable as his own. In the case of ONE PATH, this distinctiveness is not only visual but also delves into ideas about sex, history, and culture. It even touches on the existential. Essentially, it is rich in ideas. Dense concepts, processed in the background, produce stunning images in the foreground. You can either engage with these deeper layers or simply appreciate his unabashed obsession with dinosaurs. It's remarkable.--Neill Blomkamp, Director of District 9, Chappie, and Elysium

Wildly beautiful and intense beyond compare. Unforgettable images from a brilliantly conceived world.--Neal Stephenson, New York Times bestselling author of Termination Shock, Cryptonomicon, and Snow Crash
