War of the Maps by Paul Mcauley

Across a massive structure hanging in space, the lucidor hunts a criminal. The maps of the world are under attack from an unknown genetic invader, but nothing is more important than justice.

A brilliantly constructed novel, a story that drew me in and took me along for the rideI love the setting, want to know more about the lucidor's world and the people who live there. It's a book I'd definitely recommend * SFCrowsnest *
The spectacle is undeniable, but it's that rich cast of characters who give their world texture and resonance, and who finally turn War of the Maps into a fine, compelling novel. * Locus *

have. 4.5 stars
