About this eBook
Rebellion and war collide in Iron Council, the award-winning steampunk novel from acclaimed author China Miéville.
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 this teeming metropolis to the brink.
In the midst of the city's turmoil, a mysterious masked figure spurs an unconventional rebellion, while a small band of daring rebels escapes in the search for a lost legend.
As New Crobuzon faces its darkest hour, there are whispers. It is the time of the Iron Council. . .
Set in a desperate world on the brink of revolution, Iron Council is the third book in China Miéville's renowned Bas-Lag series, following the Locus and Arthur C. Clarke award-winning Perdido Street Station and The Scar.

I enjoyed reading this book even with the sometimes confusing prose. Many seemed to have been disappointed by it but I genuinely enjoyed it. Not for everyone I suppose...
