King Rat - Paperback
by China Miéville (Author)
Award-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.
With a new introduction by Tim Maughan, author of Infinite Detail. Something 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. But 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. With 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. Tor Essentials presents new editions of science fiction and fantasy titles of proven merit and lasting value, each volume introduced by an appropriate literary figure.CHINA MIÉVILLE is an author, activist, scholar, and comic writer.
