It should have been a typical Sunday in the London house they share, but for Yoko and her housemates, things have taken an unorthodox turn. A baffling thick fog is covering their home and beyond it, the friends reach a mysterious forest instead of their normal street. Unable to explain their whereabouts, it is clear that more than strange weather conditions are at play. An unstoppable chain of events is set in motion when the group turns to the Internet in their desperate search for answers. In a world of global connectivity, they quickly find others experiencing similar phenomena. However, their online activity draws the attention of powerful players-a secretive society guarding the ancient knowledge behind the fog and, a dangerous group that will stop at nothing to control it. Facing new challenges every day, the four friends struggle to maintain normality in their lives and minds as hidden secrets, otherworldly abilities, and alternate realities come to light. A fast-paced adventure set against a backdrop intertwining parallel universes with contemporary issues, Gatekeepers is a captivating tale of friendship and self-discovery. With this first exciting instalment of The Fog Chronicles series, Haruki Murakami meets David Mitchell.
