The Rouse brings China Miéville back with a new speculative epic

China Miéville’s new novel arrives September 15, following grief and conspiracy across a decade-spanning speculative story.

The Rouse arrives September 15 from China Miéville, with Penguin Random House describing a new novel that moves across continents and years. The story follows Maur after an unbearable loss and an old soldier pursued by forces neither can easily explain. Kirkus’ independent review places the book in Miéville’s literary

and weird-fiction territory while the publisher page remains the authority for the edition, formats and ordering details. This is a release preview, not a Mythscribe review. Headline image: China Miéville / Penguin Random House. Official promotional material from the linked source.
