The Scar
The Scar by China Miéville, winner of the British Fantasy Award, is a colossal fantasy of incredible diversity and spellbinding imagination, set in the richly visualized world of Bas-Lag. A human cargo bound for servitude in exile. A pirate city hauled across the oceans. A hidden miracle about to be revealed. These are the ingredients of an astonishing story. It is the story of a prisoner's journey—of the search for the island of a forgotten people, for the most astonishing beast in the seas, and ultimately for a fabled place: a massive wound in reality, a source of unthinkable power and danger.
