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.

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.
