“A real feat of the imagination, this is a really exceptional book, unlike anything I’ve ever read before” – Chris Beckett, Arthur C. Clarke Award winner
As it slumbers, the city of London changes a little every night and the people in it change a little every day.
Fans of China Miéville, Ben Aaronovitch and Neil Gaiman will love the new novel by Tony Ballantyne, which features cover art and book design by the celebrated artist Joey Hi-Fi.
In Dream London, Ballantyne has created a world that may at first seem familiar but where the recognisable towers of Britain’s capital grow taller, its parks hide themselves away and its streets form themselves into strange new patterns. There are people sailing in from new lands down the river, new criminals emerging in the East End and a path spiralling down to another world.
Captain Jim Wedderburn has looks, style and courage by the bucketful. He’s adored by women, respected by men and feared by his enemies. He’s the man to find out who has twisted London into this strange new world, and he knows it. Everyone is changing, no one is who they seem to be.
A spell-binding modern fantasy that blends the familiar with the phantasmagorical in a kaleidoscope of adventure. Visit Tony Ballantyne’s Dream London and you’ll not want to wake up.
