Un Lun Dun (2007)
“Dark flapping shapes suddenly raced through the air around the bridge.
“Cut the hoses!” a voice came from below. “And let me in!”
“It’s Brokkenbroll!” said Lectern. “What do we do?”

“Let me in,” Brokkenbroll called.
“I…I’ll connect the bridge near him,” Mortar said. He clenched his jaw, and concentrated.
A tall, spindly man in a dark suit came running up the Pons, his trench coat billowing around him. The Un...brellissimo. Flying around him with little squirts of air, opening and closing like squid-bat hybrids in a hundred colors, were broken umbrellas, doing his bidding.
Some were bent, some were ripped, some had no handles, but all moved fast and aggressive. They swirled around the stink-junkies. They were like fighting crows, poking at goggles with their jags, hooking breathing-tubes and flamethrowers with curved handles.
One big, tenacious unbrella with bent spokes yanked the pipe from Zanna’s attacker’s hood.MoreLess
