Illustrator Philip Reeve's fictional debut, 'Mortal Engines' introduces a world where cities have had to tear themselves up by the roots to survive. The city of London is chasing a small mining town across the dried-out bed of the old North Sea. 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 won the covetedGold Smarties Award. Now a feature film of the same name, starring Hera Hilmar, Robert Sheehan and Hugo Weaving. Produced by Lord of the Ringsdirector, Peter Jackson.
