Despite being a stand-alone novel, it takes place immediately after the events of Perdido Street Station.In the aftermath of the Plague of Nightmares, Bellis Coldwine, a brilliant linguist, knows that it will just be a matter of time before New Crobuzon's terrifying Secret Police drag her away for a questioning that she will undoubtedly never return from. Bellis negotiates her way on to the Terpsichoria, a ship heading to escape to the colony Nova Esperium, acting as a translator to the captain when liaising with the Salkrikaltor Cray.Shortly after this meeting, the ship is captured by pirates from the floating nation of Armada. All of the people aboard Bellis' ship are press-ganged into joining Armada and integrated into its community.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Despite quickly learning the local language, Bellis becomes homesick for the very place that threatened to kill her. In her attempts to return home, she discovers secrets about Armada that challenge the millenia-long peace that the nation has enjoyed and threaten to destroy Armada itself. | |

Alternative Calendar: Armada uses a different calendar than the one used in New Crobuzon, which in turn, is still different from the one used on Earth. | |

Always Chaotic Evil: Subverted. The Grindylows are set up like this, but it's revealed they are merely zealous defenders of hearth and home. Doesn't make the measures they take to get the job done any less horrifying, though. | |

Alien Geometries: The grindylow Magus Fin allows its user to interact strangely with regular space. Fennec uses it extensively to sneak invisibly through Armada and breeze through its most heavily locked and guarded sections. | |
