Goddamn, these books sound great. At least judging by the OP, not that terrible cover synopsis. I think I'll pick one up!

On the urging of this thread I went out looking for a Bas-Lag book and ended up buying The Scar last week. That book was amazing, I just couldn't put it down. I read it in 2 days and went right out and bought Perdido Street Station and Iron Council.

I'm about 1/2 way through Perdido Street Station right now, and while it's definitely a differently paced book, it's no less good that The Scar. I love Mieville's writing, especially Isaac's scenes. The science and pseudo-science stuff really appeals to the geek in me.

My only complaint is that I haven't heard about these books until now!
