Og når noget sparkede i det yderste af hans bevidsthed, var han nødt til at finde ud af, hvad det var."I allerførste kapitel af denne tredje og afsluttende bog i Haruki Murakamis romanværk '1Q84' møder vi den umanerligt grimme og meget insisterende privatdetektiv Hr. Ushikawa. Hans næse har aldrig fejlet noget, og når først han er på sporet, finder han altid frem til sit bytte. Men da han er en slange, må han gøre det i sit eget tempo.De to andre hovedpersoner i dette store værk, Tengo, en ensom mand med forfatterdrømme, og Aomame, en ung kvinde på en livsfarlig mission, befinder sig meget langt fra hinanden.

Mens de leder efter hinanden fra hver sit sted, lærer de mere og mere om den forskudte verden, de er forsvundet ind i, men vil de lære nok til at overliste deres forfølgere? Og vil de finde hinanden, før det er for sent.'1Q84' udspiller sig i løbet af skæbneåret 1984.Og hvis vi troede, at menneskeheden var kommet helskindet gennem dette skelsættende Orwell-år, så må vi tro om igen.

"Cruel tyrant Taxian-jun killed his way to the throne and now reigns as the first ever emperor of the mortal realm. Yet somehow, he is unsatisfied. Left cold and bereft, abandoned by all he held dear, he takes his own life...only to be reborn anew. Awakening in the body of his younger self-Mo Ran, a disciple of the cultivation sect Sisheng Peak-he discovers the chance to relive his life. This time, he vows to attain the gratification that once eluded him: all who defied him will fall, and never again will they treat him like a dog. His greatest fury is reserved for Chu Wanning, the coldly beautiful and aloofly catlike cultivation teacher who betrayed and thwarted Mo Ran time and again in their last life. Yet as Mo Ran shamelessly pursues his own goals in this life he thought lost, he begins to wonder if there might be more to his teacher-and his own feelings-than he ever realized."--
