Fever Crumb series.
In this third book set in a post-apocalyptic, post-technological Britain, Fever and her mother go on a perilous mission north from London to find a rumored black pyramid that may hold secrets of much-needed Ancient technology. Characterization is deep and revelatory; themes are rich and seamlessly interwoven; and the plot is complex and packed with propulsive action.

Fever Crumb series.
In this Fever Crumb sequel, Fever learns of enigmatic Arlo Thursday's attempts to construct a flying machine. When word leaks out that Arlo's close to powered flight, villains come calling and Fever gets caught up in the intrigue--murder and kidnapping. Reeve's distinguished world building and remarkable storytelling gifts, coupled with a trenchant understanding of human nature, are on full display.
