Scar

In the novel "Scar" China Miéville invites readers on a phantasmagorical sea voyage aboard the pirate floating city Armada under the command of the mysterious Lovers and the mysterious Uther Dole. The ultimate goal of the journey is a secret rift in reality, left by aliens from another universe, although only the chosen ones know about it. The world of Armada is a world that is scary and alluring, cruel and interesting. A world in which technology is mixed with magic. Armada, like New Crobuzon from "Station on the Street of Despair", is multifaceted and diverse. It is also inhabited by dozens of the most bizarre creatures - from the already familiar insect-headed Khepri to vampires and the Made. And what next? Then adventures, riddles, secrets ... But most importantly - the search for an answer to the question of life or death: what is the Scar?
