Mortal Engines is now a major motion picture produced by Peter Jackson!

* "Reeve's [Mortal Engines] remains a landmark of visionary imagination." -- School Library Journal, starred review"A breathtaking work of imagination, Hester Shaw is a heroine for the ages. The moment we finished reading [Mortal Engines] we knew we wanted to make it into a movie." -- Producer Peter Jackson

Philip Reeve's epic city-eat-city adventure series continues with Mortal Engines Book 2: Predator's Gold.

With the great Traction City of London completely destroyed, Tom Natsworthy and Hester Shaw travel across the world, trading with other airships and adventuring on the exciting and exotic routes of the Bird Roads. When their little scrapyard aircraft is pursued by rocket-firing gunships, the ice city of Anchorage offers them sanctuary. But as Tom and Hester soon discover, it is no safe refuge. Devastated by plague in recent years and haunted by ghosts and madness, Anchorage is headed for the Dead Continent of North America. It's a perilous course, one that will take them directly into a firestorm of danger and conflict.Mortal Engines is now a major motion picture produced by Peter Jackson!

I am enjoying this with my 12 and 10 year old boys as we drive to our rural school and back. We are riveted. The book is great but it is the performance that is unbelievable! Barnaby Edward’s read will ruin you for other audio books, it’s that good. I am happy it is a series.

We love it

The author is hilarious. I love the Brit humour very like Harry Potter.
Saw the movie which I really enjoyed (and they never followed through with) so decided to read the books to get the rest of the story. As with most adaptations to the big screen the story is so much better full print than edited screenplay. And the second book no less than the first.

Great story! Super entertaining
