Unlundun, by China Miéville.

A book by China Miéville, ISBN: 0-345-45940-7
The story is set a world which seems older yet newer then this one. A world driving by steam and strange and uncertain physics. A world full of strange and different species. The city is a cauldron of culture and culture clash. A city ruled by militia, ruled by the strive for indivudual power and survival.

In this place China Miéville unfolds a story that is magnificent in it’s beginning, center and ending. Involving ’simple’ humanic species, strange unspeakable multi-dimensional animals and beings and impossible physics and chemistry. Yet it all makes sense.

It’s a story threats, strange new things, inguinity, culture, strange species and about horrible dangers.
Although the story starts and ends in a rather different way then it unfolds in it’s center, Miéville works these things toghether in a story that makes sense, which binds and atracts the reader constantly.

It’s a book I can recommonend wholeheartedly, I quite loved it.
