A visionary new horror novel in the style of Wells' creepiest and
most enduring fictions - a future history following the descendants
of the Island of Dr Moreau In H G Wells' The Island of Dr Moreau a
shipwrecked traveller finds himself alone on an island ruled by a
mad doctor and inhabited by creatures who are at once both beast
and human. He escapes...but that is only the beginning of the
story. The City of Dr Moreau is a sprawling history of the
islanders, and an alternative vision of our own times. Spanning
more than a century, criss-crossing across numerous places and many
lives, we witness the growth of Moreau's legacy, from gothic
experiments to an event which changes the world. From the wharves
of Victorian London to a boarding house with an inhuman resident to
an assassin on a twentieth-century train ordered to kill the one
man who knows the truth, we follow secret skirmishes and hidden
plots which emerge, eventually and violently, into the open.
