CHINA MIÉVILLE - GEBRAUCHT PERDIDO STREET STATI...

In the sprawling metropolis of New Crobuzon  a stranger arrives with an impossible demand 
unleashing an alien terror that will forever change the city and the lives of its inhabitants.
Winner of the August Derleth award and the Arthur C. Clarke Award  Perdido Street Station is an
imaginative urban fantasy thriller  and the first of China Miéville's novels set in the world
of Bas-Lag.  For more than a thousand years  the parliament and its brutal militia have ruled
over a vast array of workers and artists  spies  magicians  junkies and whores. Humans and
mutants linger in the gloom beneath the city's chimneys  where the rivers are sluggish with
unnatural effluent  and factories and foundries pound into the night. Now  inadvertently 
something unthinkable has been released  and soon the city is gripped by an alien terror. The
fate of millions depends on a clutch of outcasts on the run from lawmakers and crime-lords
alike.  As battles rage in the shadows of bizarre buildings  the urban nightscape becomes a
hunting ground. A reckoning is due at the city's heart  in the vast edifice of Perdido Street
Station. It is too late to escape this gothic tale of magic  technology  and the dark
underbelly of a Victorian-esque world. Immerse yourself in China Miéville's masterpiece of
weird fiction and steampunk fantasy.
