BONUS: This edition contains an excerpt from China Mieville&'s Embassytown. Following Perdido Street Station and The Scar, acclaimed author China Mieville returns  with his hugely anticipated Del Rey hardcover debut. With a fresh and fantastical  band of characters, he carries us back to the decadent squalor of New Crobuzonthis  time, decades later. It is a time of wars and revolutions, conflict and intrigue.  New Crobuzon is being ripped apart from without and within. War with the shadowy  city-state of Tesh and rioting on the streets at home are pushing the teeming city  to the brink. A mysterious masked figure spurs strange rebellion, while treachery  and violence incubate in unexpected places. In desperation, a small group of renegades  escapes from the city and crosses strange and alien continents in the search for  a lost hope. In the blood and violence of New Crobuzon&'s most dangerous hour, there  are whispers. It is the time of the iron council. . . . The bold originality that  broke Mieville out as a new force of the genre is here once more in Iron Council:  the voluminous, lyrical novel that is destined to seal his reputation as perhaps  the edgiest mythmaker of the day.
