The Graveyard Game
Kage Baker
Harcourt Brace, 2001
ISBN:0-15-100449-8
Dedicated to saving the future by preserving the past, the cyborgs of the Company now wonder if
they must save themselves.
You wouldn't take Lewis for an immortal cyborg: he looks like a dapper character from a Noel
Coward play. And Joseph-short and stocky in his Armani suit, with a neatly trimmed black
mustache and beard that give him a cheerfully villainous look-you'd never guess that his parents
drew the Neolithic cave paintings in the C?vennes. But what are these two operatives of the
Company doing in an amusement arcade in San Francisco in 1996?
They're looking for Mendoza, fellow cyborg of Dr. Zeus Incorporated who has been banished Back Way Back. They're also trying to solve the mystery of her impossibly reappearing English mortal lover. Soon they will begin uncovering some extremely hush-hush stuff about what the Company has been doing with the cyborgs it no longer wants in the field.
With this fourth book in the Company series, Kage Baker once again takes the reader on a wry,
intelligent, and absorbing journey into the future and the past.
