The first book in the award-winning Mortal Engines
quartet.
In a dangerous future, huge motorized cities hunt, attack and
fight each other for survival.
As London pursues a small town, young apprentice Tom is flung
out into the wastelands, where a terrifying cyborg begins to hunt
him down.
Mortal Engines launched Philip Reeve's brilliantly-imagined
creation, the world of the Traction Era, where mobile cities
fight for survival in a post-apocalyptic future.
Mortal Engines was the winner of the coveted
Gold Smarties Award.
Now a feature film of the same name, starring Hera Hilmar, Robert
Sheehan and Hugo Weaving. Produced by Lord of the Rings director,
Peter Jackson.
Praise for Mortal Engines:
'Set in a captivating futuristic landscape, this hugely imaginative
story is a vivid blend of action, romance, mystery, crime
and horror. Packed full of colourful characters and locations,
it is a whirlwind adventure that challenges both Tom and the reader
to rexamine their attitudes and preconceptions.' BookTrust
""I was enthralled ... Two decades after it was written,
Mortal Engines has come to be an apt metaphor for where we
could be heading: a powerful few trapping the rest in a deadly loop
of stale ideas, with ordinary individuals helpless to break the
cycle."" David Owen, The Guardian
In A DARKLING PLAIN, Philip Reeve brilliantly completes the breath-taking
adventures that began with MORTAL ENGINES. Wren Natsworthy
is enjoying life as an aviatrix but her father Tom is troubled
by matters of the heart - the last, shocking, encounter with Hester,
and the old wound caused by Pennyroyal's bullet. Meanwhile the
fragile truce between the Green Storm and the Traction Cities
splinters and hostility breaks out again. Events are set on a collision
course as things end where they began, with London...
