Hedrigall posted:I'm hoping he's secretly had another Bas-Lag book in the works and he'll announce it soon after this book is out. On amazon.com there's a reference to a book called "leviathan" and I remember seeing mention of a title for "Kraken" coming out in 2010 on some webpage or other. It's doubtful if these are actual titles, but perhaps there's a revisit to Armada in the works?

Hedrigall posted:I love that about China Miéville. He mentions so many intriguing little notes about Bas-Lag's history and geography then jumps right back to the story, leaving us wondering. Examples: the pirate wars, that city with the casino parliament, the "limb-farms" in the grindylow's city, and so on. This is probably the one thing that really hooked me about Mieville's Bas-lag novels, nothing is thrown away. While every story has features that seem like trivial fluff, they eventually become important features of other books. Bellis Coldwine is mentioned very tangentially in Perdido Street Station, Spiral Jacobs is mentioned in the Scar, and reference to the wandering ambassador of Tesh is made in Perdido Street Station. there are so many interesting characters and hinted at history with potential for entire novels, and with each novel the world just gets richer and richer.
