Regele sobolan este un amestec de povesti, de la Printul pierdut la Fluierasul din Hamelin, preparat dupa o reteta urban fantasy (o revista celebra vorbea chiar de grunge fantasy), prevestind new weird-ul de mai tarziu.
Tatal lui Saul Garamond este omorat si vina cade asupra fiului. In inchisoare, acesta este vizitat de o fiinta venita din Londra subterana, care isi spune Regele sobolan. Saul descopera identitatea surprinzatoare a acestui personaj, care il implica apoi in lupta impotriva unor forte nici macar banuite pana atunci...

Work Description
Something is stirring in London's dark, stamping out its territory in brickdust and blood. Something has murdered Saul Garamond's father, and left Saul to pay for the crime.
But a shadow from the urban waste breaks into Saul's prison cell and leads him to freedom. A shadow called King Rat, who reveals Saul's royal heritage, a heritage that opens a new world to Saul, the world below London's streets--a heritage that also drags Saul into King Rat's plan for revenge against his ancient enemy. With drum 'n' bass pounding the backstreets, Saul must confront the forces that would use him, the forces that would destroy him, and the forces that shape his own bizarre identity.
