On his 16th birthday, churlish Drake Douay finds himself exiled from
his homeland amid a treacherous crew of pirates on the open sea.
Through battles with sea monsters, mysterious cults, weird technology
of a bygone age, and the warring gangs of two pirate lords, Drake
explores a world of dark fantasy and betrayal with his keen wit and a
sharp sword -- his only protection from an early death!
Never before published in a North American edition, The Walrus & The
Warwolf is the most popular of Hugh Cook's 10-volume Chronicles of
an Age of Darkness series, which blends fierce sword & sorcery action
with vivid world-building to create a modern classic of fantasy.
Author China Miéville (Perdido St. Station, The Scar) provides an
insightful, amusing introduction to Cook's unforgettable book.
