A man is living two lives. He is a private detective in a dystopian cyberpunk future trying to solve a triple murder. But when he falls asleep--he wakes up as a wandering adventurer in a barbaric fantasy world where magic exists. Is he two separate people? Or is he a third person that has undergone a psychotic split? He jumps back and forth from sword-wielding barbarian to jaded private eye trying to solve the brutal crime. But the bigger question is, can he merge these realities without losing himself?

    Exciting and dizzying delivery where the mix of literary genres remains in perfect balance, you feel like you are jumping from a story by Robert E Howard to enter one by Philip K Dick.

    It is very detailed with Torres' imprint that fuses 60s pop art with a fresh new vision, with impressive body language management.
