Synopsis

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.
