The Mortal Engines Series - Book 1
Mortal Engines
“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.”
Washington Post
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.
