Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Consolidator is a remarkable hybrid of fantasy mixed with contemporary social and political satire. Unique in Defoe's canon for its settings (including, among other places, China and the moon), its material derives from the more familiar Defoean context of urban life in early eighteenth-century England.
