Railsea<\/span><\/a> Promo copy:<\/span><\/p>\n On board the moletrain Medes, Sham Yes ap Soorap watches in awe as he witnesses his first moldywarpe hunt: the giant mole bursting from the earth, the harpoonists targeting their prey, the battle resulting in one\u2019s death and the other\u2019s glory. But no matter how spectacular it is, Sham can’t shake the sense that there is more to life than traveling the endless rails of the railsea\u2013even if his captain can think only of the hunt for the ivory-coloured mole she\u2019s been chasing since it took her arm all those years ago. When they come across a wrecked train, at first it’s a welcome distraction. But what Sham finds in the derelict\u2014a series of pictures hinting at something, somewhere, that should be impossible\u2014leads to considerably more than he’d bargained for. Soon he’s hunted on all sides, by pirates, trainsfolk, monsters and salvage-scrabblers. And it might not be just Sham’s life that’s about to change. It could be the whole of the railsea. <\/p>\n From China Mi\u00e9ville comes a novel for readers of all ages, a gripping and brilliantly imagined take on Herman Melville’s Moby-Dick<\/span> that confirms his status as "the most original and talented voice to appear in several years."
