Spectacular as it is, Sham can't shake the sense that there is more to life than the endless rails of the railsea--even if his captain thinks only of hunting the ivory-colored mole that took her arm years ago. But when they come across a wrecked train, Sham finds something--a series of pictures hinting at something, somewhere, that should be impossible--that leads to considerably more than he'd bargained for. Soon he's hunted on all sides, by pirates, trainsfolk, monsters &amp; salvage-scrabblers. &amp; it might not be just Sham's life that's about to change. It could be the whole of the railsea.<br /> <br /> <b><i>NEW YORK TIMES</i> BESTSELLER</b><br /> <br /> "[Miéville] gives all readers a lot to dig into here, be it emotional drama, <i>Godzilla</i>-esque monster carnage, or the high adventure that comes only with riding the rails."--<i>USA Today</i><br /> <br /> "Superb . . . massively imaginative."--<i>Publishers Weekly</i> (starred review)<br /> <br /> "Riveting . . . a great adventure."--NPR<br /> <br /> "Wildly inventive . . .
