In a world where all the fictions ever written coalesce into a rich mosaic, its 1975. Janni Dakkar, pirate queen of Lincoln Island and head of the fabled Nemo family, is eighty years old and beginning to display a tenuous grasp on reality. Pursuing shadows from her past"or her imagination"she embarks on what may be a final voyage down the vastness of the Amazon, a last attempt to put to rest the blood-drenched spectres of old. With allies and adversaries old and new, we accompany an ageing predator on her obsessive trek into the cultural landscape of a strange new continent, from the ruined city of Yu-Atlanchi to the fabulous plateau of Maple White Land. As the dark threads in her narrative are drawn into an inescapable web, Captain Nemo leads her hearse-black Nautilus in a desperate raid on horrors believed dead for decades. Through the exotic spectacle of an imagined South America, Alan Moore and Kevin ONeill steer their fifty-year-long Nemo trilogy to its remarkable conclusion, borne upon a RIVER OF GHOSTS. -- a 56-page full-color hardcover, 6 5/8 x 10 1/8, co-published by Top Shelf and Knockabout.

Críticas:
"As a fabulous pulpy romp of an adventure it certainly works its magic well." - Forbidden Planet International
"Moore's script is, as usual for this series, laced with cultural references... Overall,it's a fitting exit. O'Neil's art has its usual edginess. and the inevitable apocalyptic ending is tackled with relish." - --MYM Magazine
