YAHungry City Chronicles series.
In Mortal Engines Reeve unveiled a futuristic society of "traction cities" that roam the post-Apocalyptic earth. This sequel follows lovers Tom Natsworthy and Hester Shaw on their airship exploits to the traction city of Anchorage. The technological wizardry will gratify young sci-fi gearheads, while the intense emotions drive the thrilling plot at top speed until the battle-royale finish.
