King Rat - China Miéville

Descriere

nAward-winning author China Miéville began his astounding career with King Rat--now in a new Tor Essentials edition--a mix of a young man's search for identity with a pulse-pounding story of revenge and madness. n nWith a new introduction by Tim Maughan, author of Infinite Detail. n nSomething is stirring in London's dark, stamping out its territory in brickdust and blood. Something has murdered Saul Garamond's father, and left Saul to pay for the crime. n nBut a shadow from the urban waste breaks into Saul's prison cell and leads him to freedom: a shadow called King Rat. King Rat reveals to Saul his own royal heritage, a heritage that opens a new world for him, the world below London's streets. n nWith drum-and-bass pounding the backstreets, Saul must confront the forces that would use him, the ones that would destroy him, and those that have shaped his own bizarre identity. n nTor Essentials presents new editions of science fiction and fantasy titles of proven merit and lasting value, each volume introduced by an appropriate literary figure.n
