A new edition with glorious new cover art. Peter Higgins' Vlast is
a superbly imagined 'other' Russia, an epic land of trackless
forest, sentient rain and deep powers in the Earth. Its capital
Mirgorod is home both to a brutal dictatorship centuries old and
fleeting glimpses of the houses and streets of another city.
Compared to the works of of both China Mieville and John Le Carre
WOLFHOUND CENTURY was a hugely original creation. Now Peter Higgins
returns to that world. Investigator Lom returns to Mirgorod and
finds the city in the throes of a crisis. The war against the
Archipelago is not going well. Enemy divisions are massing outside
the city, air-raids are a daily occurrance and the citizens are
being conscripted into the desperate defence of the city. But Lom
has other concerns. The police are after him, the mystery of the
otherworldly Pollandore remains and the vast Angel is moving,
turning all of nature against the city. But will the horrors of war
overtake all their plans?
