JJ Abrams is known for his resurrecting of Star Trek and now Star Wars it would be hard pressed to say that the man doesn't have his plate full. Though about a month back, a mysterious trailer from Abrams and his production company Bad Robot simply entitled Stranger which was a fitting title. People were itching to know what this new project was, some said it was the new Twilight Zone film, others said it was another TV show. But at last Abrams has revealed to us that his new project is a book. Not just an ordinary book, this is JJ Abrams after all.
The book is aptly titled S. and according to Empire the story of S. follows a grad student, Eric and a college senior, Jennifer. Throughout the story the relationship of these two grows between notes the two pass along the margins of a mysterious book. It's basically a novel within a novel, Abrams likes to keep things interesting and not so straight forward and the book itself will come shrink wrapped as to keep the handwritten notes (which are separate from the book) in place.
S. is an interactive mystery novel, and coming from the mind of Abrams and the hand of Doug Dorst, this should be one heck of a ride. Abrams told EW that "I could not be more excited for people to get their hands on this book, it is difficult to describe because while it is a compelling mystery and love story, it is also much more than that. The work that everyone has done on S. is unlike anything I’ve ever seen. Frankly, I’m amazed it was even possible to do this project at all.” The fans reception was not as loud as expected, but when S. is released on October 28 you can expect to see it leading the charts.
