Rook: Exodus Volume 1: Fight or Flight - Paperback

by Geoff Johns (Author), Jason Fabok (Illustrator), Brad Anderson (Illustrator)

"It's as good as sci-fi action adventures get in many ways." --AIPT

Rook settled on Exodus for a new life, but now he's a lone avian Warden on an alien wasteland with one burning question to face: Fight or flight?

Hundreds of years from now, the man known as Rook was once a simple farmer who fled the crumbling Earth for a new life. He traveled to the planet Exodus, a terraformed world where all of nature, including its imported animal population, was completely controlled by humans called Wardens.

But when Exodus's world engine failed, the Wardens' power fell into the wrong hands, creating chaos and mass evacuation...for those who could afford it. The rest, like Rook, must scavenge for an escape vessel as the war for control of what's left of Exodus begins.

Geoff Johns and Jason Fabok, the celebrated team behind the smash hit Batman: Three Jokers, reunite for an all-new science fiction series!
