With a host of characters as intricate as the city itself, Perdido Street Station is the ultimate steampunk novel and one that holds the reader gripped from its opening pages to its dramatic conclusion. No wonder it won the Arthur C. Clarke award and continues to hold the baton for Weird literature.
