Aboard a vast seafaring vessel, a band of prisoners and slaves is being transported to the colony of Nova Esperium. They are joined by a handful of travelers, each with a reason for fleeing the city. Among them is Bellis Coldwine, a linguist whose services as an interpreter grant her passage — and escape from horrific punishment. For she is linked to Isaac Dan der Grimnebulin, the renegade scientist who has unwittingly unleashed a nightmare upon New Crobuzon. For Bellis, the plan is clear: live among the new frontiersmen of the colony until it is safe to return home. But when the ship is besieged by pirates, the senior officers are executed. The surviving passengers are brought to Armada, a city no one may ever leave. Lonely and embittered in her captivity, Bellis knows that to show dissent is a death sentence. Instead, she must furtively seek information about Armada's agenda. The answer lies in the dark, amorphous shapes that float undetected miles below the waters — terrifying entities with a singular, chilling mission. 795 pages ISBN: 9781035060436 We use industry standard packaging Items are sent promptly and well packedPlease do check our other listingsPlease do not hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions.
