In this tenth installment of the science fiction series Knights of Sidonia, the Sidonia and its crew believe that their danger-fraught quest has come to an end when they reach a planet with water and a breathable atmosphere. Author Tsutomu Nihei spins an imaginative tale of what may be humanity's last stand, centuries into the future, aboard a city-sized spacecraft. Their race across the treacherous expanse of space may have finally paid off--or has it? For the Knights of Sidonia, their interplanetary adventures are far from over.
Tsutomu Nihei is an internationally known Japanese comic artist and draftsman. Born in 1971, Nihei made his debut in the comics world as the winner of the 1995 Afternoon Magazine Four Seasons Award for short stories. He then briefly worked as an assistant to veteran comicker Tsutomu Takahashi before making his break-through hit BLAME! (published by Tokyopop).
The BLAME! franchise was so well received worldwide, that it inspired an animated mini-series and eventually drew the attention of Marvel Comics in the US. Nihei would later go on to draw Wolverine (X-Men) and HALO comics for Marvel to great fanfare. An architectural student, Nihei's early work were mainly wordless, relying on visuals and backgrounds to tell their stories. Now, his works are deeply rooted in hard science-fiction, as was seen in the multiple NY Times Bestselling books HALO: The Graphic Novel (published by Marvel Comics) and BIOmega (published by Viz Media).
