Description
In the sprawling metropolis of New Crobuzon, a stranger's impossible demand sets off a chain of events that will forever change the city and its inhabitants. An alien terror is unleashed, threatening the lives of millions. For over a thousand years, the city has been ruled by a brutal parliament and its militia, with a vast array of workers, artists, spies, magicians, junkies, and whores living in the shadows beneath the city's chimneys. Now, something unthinkable has been released, and the city is gripped by chaos. A small group of outcasts must navigate the treacherous landscape of battles, crime-lords, and lawmakers to prevent a catastrophic reckoning at the city's heart. Perdido Street Station is a gothic tale of magic, technology, and the dark underbelly of a Victorian-esque world, where the urban nightscape becomes a hunting ground.
