Description: Critically acclaimed author Miville ("Kraken, Un Lun Dun") delivers a gripping reimagining of Herman Melville's classic novel "Moby-Dick, " but this time, the giant whale is an ivory-colored moldyworpeNa giant mole.

Review Quotes: "Other names besides [Herman] Melville's will surely come to mind as you read this thrilling tale--there's Dune's Frank Herbert. . . . But in this, as in all of his works, Miéville has that special knack for evoking other writers even while making the story wholly his own."--Los Angeles Times

"[Miéville] gives all readers a lot to dig into here, be it emotional drama, Godzilla-esque monster carnage, or the high adventure that comes only with riding the rails."--USA Today

"Superb . . . massively imaginative."--Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"Riveting . . . a great adventure."--NPR

"Wildly inventive . . . Every sentence is packed with wit."--The Guardian (London)
