We travel by boat, a rickety steam launch captained by Cady Meade, a veteran taxi pilot on the river Nysis. In her heyday she carried people and goods from the thriving seaports of the estuary into Ludwich, the capital city. But that was years ago. Now she's drunk, holed up in a rundown seaside resort, telling her bawdy tales for shots of rum. All that's about to change, when two strangers seek her out, asking for transport, one of whom - a young girl - is very ill, and in great danger. The other, an artificial being of singular character, has secrets hidden inside his crystal skull. And so begins the voyage of the Juniper. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe Nysis is unlike any other river. Mysteries unfold with each port of call. Not many can navigate these channels, not many know of its whirlpools and sandbanks, and of the ravenous creatures that lurk beneath the surface. Cady used to have the necessary knowledge, and the powers of spectral navigation. But her glory days are well behind her now. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis might well be her final journey. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eFile Under: \u003c\/i\u003e \u003cb\u003eFantasy\u003c\/b\u003e [ Peake Fantasy Secret Mythologies Take Me to the River Another London ]\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJEFF NOON\u003c\/b\u003e is an award-winning British novelist, short story writer and playwright.
