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??
