China Mieville’s latest is Railsea (Macmillan £17.99). It’s “an
epic journey for readers of all ages”:
“On board the moletrain Medes, Sham Yes ap
Soorap watches in awe as he witnesses his first moldywarpe hunt … but Sham
can't shake the sense that there is more to life. When they come across a
wrecked train, at first it's a welcome distraction. But the impossible salvage
Sham finds in the derelict leads to considerably more than he'd bargained for.
Soon he's hunted on all sides: by pirates, trainsfolk, monsters and
salvage-scrabblers. And it might not be just Sham's life that's about to
change. It could be the whole of the railsea.”
Mieville is
the three-time recipient of the Arthur C Clarke Award, as well as winner
of the BSFA, BFS, Hugo and World Fantasy awards
