In this parallel world, everything is the same, except there are real superheroes. Z is the last of this kind, the last superhero, who must decide how he can use his abilities to fight for truth and justice and uphold freedoms and rights. This tale starts with Z searching for the truth of Gaza and Palestine. Z soon realises there is wholesale deception, lies, and an underlying manipulated narrative that has made it unclear as to who is the real victim or terrorist. As this tale unfolds, it takes Z through the trial and tribulation of being complicit and part of the problem, something we all must also face. How can a superhero unleash justice when reality and truth have been manipulated? How can justice prevail with so many lies that protect the livelihood of many and the interests of a false democracy? The role of the superhero is to fight for rights, overcome injustices, and protect freedoms. But coming from a Western society that itself is complicit with unfolding genocide, what then becomes the role of the superhero? Who then protects the innocent of a country that is persecuted by its people? How can a superhero stop a forever conflict with its latest war? These are some of the dilemmas faced by Z, the last superhero, who must decide what his role is in today’s world. This takes Z on a fascinating yet horrific human story that has integrated religion, politics, predictions, and misgivings and exposes him to age-old truths and a never-ending drama.

本書は、ヒーローという正義の象徴をパレスチナの残酷な現実へと突き落とした野心作です。著者のウリザーは、欺瞞に塗れた西側社会の加担を暴き出し、絶対的な力を持つ者が真実を前にいかに責任ある存在かを問い直します。読者は主人公Ｚの葛藤を通じ、自らもまた沈黙という名の加害者ではないかと魂を揺さぶられるでしょう。 特筆すべきは、勧善懲悪を解体し、宗教や政治が混迷する現代の悲劇を文学的叙事詩へと昇華させた点です。これは、歪められた物語を正し、踏みにじられた自由のために戦う覚悟を我々に突きつける、切実で情熱的な告発状に他なりません。
