About the book

Something is stirring in Londons dark, stamping out its territory in brickdust and blood. Something has murdered Sauls father, and left Saul to pay for the crime. But a shadow from the urban waste breaks into his prison cell and leads him to freedom. A shadow called King Rat. In the night-land behind Londons fa?ade, in sewers and slums and rotting dead spaces, Saul must learn his true nature. Grotesque murders rock the city like a curse. Mysterious forces prepare for a showdown. With Drum and Bass pounding the backstreets, Saul confronts his bizarre inheritance in the badlands of South London, in the heart of darkness, at the gathering of the Junglist Massive. Like the DJ says: Time for the Badman. Tackles his theme with a dark assurance . . . with its original blend of twisted urban fairytale and modern gothic horror, King Rat marks out China Miville as an author to be watched The Times Brings together elements of fantasy, fairytale and the detective story . . . I greatly enjoyed Mivilles weird and engaging myth-making Daily Telegraph
