  A devastating shipwreck, a prisoner of miniature empires, and a hilarious, biting mirror held up to human folly. 
  Washed ashore after a violent storm, the ambitious surgeon Lemuel Gulliver awakens on the strange island of Lilliput—only to find himself bound to the earth by thousands of microscopic threads. His captors are a civilization of humans barely six inches tall, yet possessed of massive ambitions, petty rivalries, and deeply absurd political schisms. From mediating a devastating, bloody war over which end to break an egg, to serving as a titan-sized weapon of mass destruction against the neighboring empire of Blefuscu, Gulliver must navigate a treacherous world where he is both an all-powerful god and a highly vulnerable pawn. But as the diminutive political leaders scheme to use him—or slowly starve him to death—Gulliver realizes that true survival will require far more than mere physical size; it will demand ultimate cunning.
