King Rat

Something is stirring in London`s dark, stamping out its territory in brickdust and blood. Something has murdered Saul`s father, and left Saul to pay for the crime. But a shadow from the urban waste breaks into his prison cell and leads him to freedom. A shadow called King Rat. In the night-land behind London`s facade, in sewers and slums and rotting dead spaces, Saul must learn his true nature. Grotesque murders rock the city like a curse. Mysterious forces prepare for a showdown. With Drum and Bass pounding the backstreets, Saul confronts his bizarre inheritance – in the badlands of South London, in the heart of darkness, at the gathering of the Junglist Massive. Like the DJ says: `Time for the Badman.` `Tackles his theme with a dark assurance …with its original blend of twisted urban fairytale and modern gothic horror, King Rat marks out China Mieville as an author to be watched` The Times `Brings together elements of fantasy, fairytale and the detective story …I greatly enjoyed Mieville`s weird and engaging myth-making` Daily Telegraph
