Name: Walrus and the Warwolf
Author: Hugh Cook
ISBN: 9781601252142

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.
