Description

China Miéville doesn’t follow developments, he sets them. As a writer—and along the way increasing the boundaries of the whole field—with Embassytown often driving their own boundaries, Miéville has designed an exceptional book that's not just a moving personal crisis but a gripping journey of alien battle and contact. In the far future, a distant planet has been colonized by humans, home to the enigmatic Ariekei, sentient creatures famous for a vocabulary special in the world, one which just a few modified individual ambassadors may talk. Avice Benner Cho, a colonist, has delivered to Embassytown after decades of heavy-house journey.
