BONUS: This edition contains an excerpt from China MiAA(c)ville's Embassytown. A mythmaker of the highest order, China MiAA(c)ville has emblazoned the fantasy novel  with fresh language, startling images, and stunning originality. Set in the same  sprawling world of MiAA(c)ville's Arthur C. Clarke Award-winning novel, Perdido Street  Station, this latest epic introduces a whole new cast of intriguing characters and  dazzling creations.  Aboard a vast seafaring vessel, a band of prisoners and slaves,  their bodies remade into grotesque biological oddities, is being transported to the  fledgling colony of New Crobuzon. But the journey is not theirs alone. They are joined  by a handful of travelers, each with a reason for fleeing the city. Among them is  Bellis Coldwine, a renowned linguist whose services as an interpreter grant her passageand  escape from horrific punishment. For she is linked to Isaac Dan der Grimnebulin,  the brilliant renegade scientist who has unwittingly unleashed a nightmare upon New  Crobuzon. For Bellis, the plan is clear: live among the new frontiersmen of the  colony until it is safe to return home. But when the ship is besieged by pirates  on the Swollen Ocean, the senior officers are summarily executed. The surviving passengers  are brought to Armada, a city constructed from the hulls of pirated ships, a floating,  landless mass ruled by the bizarre duality called the Lovers. On Armada, everyone  is given work, and even Remades live as equals to humans, Cactae, and Cray. Yet no  one may ever leave. Lonely and embittered in her captivity, Bellis knows that to  show dissent is a death sentence. Instead, she must furtively seek information about  Armada's agenda. The answer lies in the dark, amorphous shapes that float undetected  miles below the watersterrifying entities with a singular, chilling mission. . .  . China MiAA(c)ville is a writer for a new eraand The Scar is a luminous, brilliantly  imagined novel that is nothing short of spectacular.
