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--even if his captain can think only of the hunt for the ivory-colored mole she's 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--a kind of treasure map indicating a mythical place untouched by iron rails--leads to considerably more than he'd bargained for. Soon he's hunted on all sides, by pirates, trainsfolk, monsters, & salvage-scrabblers, & it might not be just Sham's life that's about to change. It could be the whole of the railsea. Here is a novel for readers of all ages, a gripping & brilliantly imagined take on Herman Melville's Moby-Dick that confirms China Mieville's status as 'the most original & talented voice to appear in several years' (Science Fiction Chronicle)"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Imaginary places $v Fiction. 650 1 $a Moles (Animals) $v Fiction. 650 6 $a Lieux imaginaires $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. 650 7 $a FICTION $x General. $x General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Imaginary places. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00967571 650 7 $a Railroads $v Fiction. $2 sears 655 0 $a Young adult fiction. 655 4 $a Fantasy fiction $v Young adult. 655 7 $a Young adult works. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726790 655 7 $a Fantasy fiction $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726607 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a Fantasy fiction. $2 gsafd 655 7 $a Fantasy fiction. $2 lcgft 941 $a 1 $n 1 952 $l VXPE964 $d 20230822135020.0 $n 5 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=762865FC40EC11EE8D3F4AB20F3FDB2A 994 $a C0 $b IOZInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
