The Second Half of JJ Abrams' "Stranger" Teaser is Here, is Awesome

Remember three weeks back when JJ Abrams/Bad Robot teased something epic and strange with their "Stranger" teaser? Well now we have more of it, it's still awesome, and we know what is being teased.

All of this has been leading up to S, a upcoming book "created" by JJ Abrams and written by Doug Dorst. Besides having a full, movie-sized, awesome trailer, the book itself looks really interesting. That's not really a surprise though. I mean come on, JJ Abrams:

One book. Two readers. A world of mystery, menace, and desire.

A young woman picks up a book left behind by a stranger. Inside it are his margin notes, which reveal a reader entranced by the story and by its mysterious author. She responds with notes of her own, leaving the book for the stranger, and so begins an unlikely conversation that plunges them both into the unknown.

The book: Ship of Theseus, the final novel by a prolific but enigmatic writer named V.M. Straka, in which a man with no past is shanghaied onto a strange ship with a monstrous crew and launched onto a disorienting and perilous journey.

The writer: Straka, the incendiary and secretive subject of one of the world’s greatest mysteries, a revolutionary about whom the world knows nothing apart from the words he wrote and the rumors that swirl around him.

The readers: Jennifer and Eric, a college senior and a disgraced grad student, both facing crucial decisions about who they are, who they might become, and how much they’re willing to trust another person with their passions, hurts, and fears.

S., conceived by filmmaker J. J. Abrams and written by award-winning novelist Doug Dorst, is the chronicle of two readers finding each other in the margins of a book and enmeshing themselves in a deadly struggle between forces they don’t understand, and it is also Abrams and Dorst’s love letter to the written word.

The book is up for preorder now on Amazon if you want to check it out, which of course you do.
