From the flooded wasteland of rubble and anarchy rises the Great Tokyo Empire, populated by a ragtag army of zealots and crazies who worship and fear Akira ad his mad prime minister, Tetsuo, and angry teen with immense powers of his own—and equally immense, twisted ambitions. The world at large is not taking the threat lying down, and the military strength of the planet is massing to take on the empire, but will technology's most advanced weaponry be enough to destroy Akira? And are Tetsuo's rapidly growing paranormal abilities a potentially greater threat?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gardners Books Limited","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56521917170039,"sku":"9781646511389","price":35.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0357\/3199\/6807\/files\/9781646511389.jpg?v=1768237096","url":"https:\/\/thebookhousebroughtyferry.pro\/products\/9781646511389","provider":"The Bookhouse Broughty Ferry","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
