Philip Reeve’s epic city-eat-city adventure series, Mortal Engines, now with spectacular new cover art.
London is hunting again. Emerging from its hiding place in the hills, the great Traction City is chasing a terrified little town across the wastelands. Soon, London will feed.
In the attack, Tom Natsworthy is flung from the speeding city with a murderous scar-faced girl. They must run for their lives through the wreckage — and face a terrifying new weapon that threatens the future of the world.
Beloved storyteller Philip Reeve creates a brilliant new world in the Mortal Engines series, called “phenomenal… violent and romantic, action-packed and contemplative, funny and frightening” by the Sunday Times.

"First of all: I recommend this book. A nice twist on a far future dystopia. It has a lot of different themes and some nice twists along the way. Themes like steam-punk, dystopia, post-war apocalypse come to mind. The narration seemed a bit long-winded at first, compared to other audiobooks I have listened to, but it kinda grew on me. So all in all - a good listening experience." — Christian (5 out of 5 stars)

“In Mortal Engines, [Reeve] has given readers of all ages an alternative world so richly, vigorously, and wittily imagined that it lingers in the mind long after its supposed lessons have faded.”
“Reeve thinks big in this British prizewinner, envisioning a distant future in which immense mobile cities roar over continent-sized wastelands, preying on each other…Readers who enjoy violent, titanic clashes between good and evil will be absorbed from beginning to end. First of a projected trilogy.”
" An excellent book with touches on topics like steam-punk, wasteland living, dystopia and post-war far future. Recommended read "
