The Art of War, by Kelly Roman

The Art of War, by Kelly Roman, 352 pages

This graphic novel is dark, gory, and very much adult.  Consider yourself warned! The story takes place in a dystopian America, where China controls the economy, day traders are vicious and often murderers, and Kelly Roman goes undercover to find out who murdered his brother- and why.  This puts him in the employ of the most ruthless broker of them all- Sun Tzu.  While the story isn't an adaptation of (the real) Sun Tzu's Art of War, it does juxtapose text from the classic war manual with the futuristic storyline- proving that war, strategy, cunning and deception are all timeless.
P.S., I got this book for free from a Goodreads giveaway- how cool is a free book??
