From beloved and award-winning author China Miéville comes Embassytown, a tightly plotted literary science-fiction novel that will draw comparisons to Miéville's well-received, award-winning novel The City & The City as well as Mary Doria Russell's The Sparrow. China Miéville continues to expand his audience with this brilliant novel. On a distant planet in the far future, humans and an alien race coexist in a nonviolent but nonetheless uncomfortable arrangement. In general, they don't hurt one another, but they're not necessarily happy to share the city together. It is a marriage of convenience, arranged for economic reasons. But when a new group of humans arrives on the planet, one current citizen--a young woman--begins to realize that things are about to change for the worse.
