The metropolis of New Crobuzon sprawls at the centre of the world. Humans and mutants and arcane races brood in the gloom, where the river is sluggish with effluent, and factories and foundries pound into the night. For a thousand years, the Parliament and its militia have ruled here over a vast economy of workers and artists, spies and soldiers, magicians, junkies and whores. Now a stranger has arrived, with a pocket of gold and an impossible demand. And something unthinkable is released. The city is gripped by an alien terror, renegades on the run from lawmakers and crimelords, outcast and alone. Battles rage in the shadows of uncanny architecture. A reckoning is due at the city's heart under the chaotic vaults of Perdido Street Station.
