The metropolis of New Crobuzon sprawls at the centre of its bewildering world. Humans and mutants and arcane races throng the gloom beneath its chimneys, where the rivers are slow with unnatural effluent, and factories and foundries pound into the night. For greater than a thousand years, the parliament and its brutal militia have ruled more than a vast array of workers and painters, spies, magicians, junkies and whores. Now a stranger has come, with a pocketful of yellow metal and an impossible demand, and inadvertently something unthinkable is released. Soon metropolis is gripped by an alien terror - and the fate of millions is determined by a clutch of outcasts away from home from lawmakers and crime-lords as well. The metropolitan nightscape becomes a hunting surface as battles rage in the shadows of bizarre complexes. And a reckoning arrives at the city's center, in the vast edifice of Perdido Street Station. It really is too late to flee. "A work of exhaustive inventiveness...superlative dream." - "PERIODS". "A well-written, authentically engrossing excursion story, exuberantly filled with hocus-pocus...Mieville does not disappoint." - "Daily Telegraph".
