The events of this novel take place in the world of “Perdition” and “The Sigh of the Lost Dreams”—a celebrated fantastical masterpiece, the most delightful and engaging, in the opinion of industry colleagues, of today’s novels, and the best work in the steampunk genre since Gibson and Sterling’s “The Difference Engine.”
The giant metropolis of New Crobuzon is splitting at the seams—its strength is drained by a war with the distant power of Tez, while dissidents and loyalists have moved from debate to street fighting, and mysterious mirages corrode the very fabric of the city’s existence. And so a motley crew of daredevils sets off on the trail of Iudeo Lev, a golemist who has fled New Crobuzon: according to rumor, he’s searching for the legendary Iron Council—a symbol of freedom on the steam line.
