King Rat blends eerie fairy tale and contemporary urban fantasy in
China Mieville's fantastical debut. Something is stirring in
London's dark, stamping out its territory in brickdust and blood.
Something has murdered Saul's father, and left Saul to pay for the
crime. But a shadow from the urban waste breaks into his prison
cell and leads him to freedom. A shadow called King Rat. In the
night-land behind London's facade, in sewers and slums and rotting
dead spaces, Saul must learn his true nature. Grotesque murders
rock the city like a curse. Mysterious forces prepare for a
showdown. With Drum and Bass pounding the backstreets, Saul
confronts his bizarre inheritance - in the badlands of South
London, in the heart of darkness, at the gathering of the Junglist
Massive. Like the DJ says: 'Time for the Badman.'
