Tom is a twenty something Londoner who has only ever lived inside his travelling hometown, and his feet have never touched grass, mud or land. His first taste of the outside comes quite abruptly: Tom gets in the way of the masked Hester's attempt to kill Thaddeus Valentine, a powerful man she blames for her mother’s murder, and both Hester and Tom end up thrown out of the moving "traction" city, to fend for themselves. Trying to stop the predator city who wants to devour everything in front of itself, Hester joins forces with Tom Natsworthy and Anna Fang, a dangerous outlaw aviator with a bounty on her head.

  1. Wow! 'cities eating each other', 'war casualties reanimated with engine parts'..?!
    In fact, it's not so apocalyptic; we have it now with our new municipal elections.

    Hugo Weaving looks very handsome!

  2. 100 million is a lotta dough! I’m undecided on this one, but I have a feeling it will do well at the box office.

    1. fingers crossed, the book was very innovative and creative. The only difference is that in the books Tom is the lead character not Hester and she is hideous in the book.
