About this book
New Crobuzon is a huge, decaying city where magic and industry run together and humans share the streets with insect-headed khepri, cactus people and stranger beings. Isaac, an eccentric scientist, takes an unusual commission from a bird-man who has lost his wings. Isaac's research then sets loose something dangerous in the city. Soon he, his artist lover and a group of misfits are caught between criminal bosses, a corrupt government and powers far older and odder. The prose is lush and baroque and the world-building dense. Part steampunk, part weird fiction, it is a dark and inventive urban epic.
