It's a secret so explosive that you struggle to breathe as you read this utterly compelling adventure thriller. To view other titles by Philip Reeve click here.

 

A word from the author's publisher and Editor Marion Lloyd

Philip Reeve's Mortal Engines series defies easy categorisation, but its brilliantly inventive fantasy world immediately grabbed the attention of readers, reviewers and literary prize-givers as soon as the first book appeared. There are now five inspiring adventure stories, in whose futuristic, post-apocalyptic setting, moving cities trawl the Earth. They attack and consume each other in wastelands where natural resources are scarce, and Ancient technology is fought for. Fast-paced, sometimes violent, always surprising and original, Reeve's epic sequence of love, war and adventure are richly rewarding for both adults and children.

 

To read the Mortal Engines Quartet in order:

1) Mortal Engines

2) Predator's Gold

3) Infernal Devices

4) Darkling Plain

If you love Philip Reeve's Mortal Engines sequence you should also read Haywired by Alex Keller.  Also, click here to read Alex Keller's interview with Philip Reeve in The Solitary Bee.
