All the books in "Mortal Engines" saga cover nearly twenty years in the history of the Traction Era, a far-future age when cities move about hunting smaller mobile towns and dismantling those they catch for their raw materials. Airships ply the skies, amphibious limpet-submarines lurk in the oceans, and dangerous bits of technology left over from a long-ago war lie waiting to be discovered and put to use in the looming conflict between the cities and their anti-tractionist enemies.
Phillip Reeve has also written another fantasy book "LarkLight" which we wrote about some time ago as the $200 million movie project given to amazing Shekhar Kapur to direct.
I must be in the dark because I have never heard of this saga.
ReplyDeletedon't be surprised lady Avalon, there are so many fantasy novels and sagas out there these days that even I haven't heard about this one until recently :) and you know I work in a publishing house :)
ReplyDeleteI imagine the series would provide Jackson opportunity to deliver plenty of groundbreaking visuals that could rival the remarkable universe of James Cameron’s Avatar.
ReplyDeleteYep, I think Peter should return to the only thing he knows how to do best - making fantasy epics.
