{"product_id":"the-scar","title":"The Scar","description":"\u003cb\u003eA mythmaker of the highest order, China Miéville has emblazoned the fantasy novel   with fresh language, startling images, and stunning originality. Set in the same   sprawling world of Miéville’s Arthur C. Clarke Award-winning novel, \u003ci\u003ePerdido Street   Station\u003c\/i\u003e, this latest epic introduces a whole new cast of intriguing characters and   dazzling creations. \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 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 passage—and   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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 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 waters—terrifying entities with a singular, chilling mission. . .   .\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e China Miéville is a writer for a new era—and \u003ci\u003eThe Scar\u003c\/i\u003e is a luminous, brilliantly   imagined novel that is nothing short of spectacular.","brand":"China Miéville","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":51827766034648,"sku":"9780345444387","price":22.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2770\/5320\/files\/cover-9780345444387.jpg?v=1781547871","url":"https:\/\/destiil.com\/products\/the-scar","provider":"De Stiil Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
