dark plain

Author's name: Philip Reeve

The magnificent fantasy series, Mortal Engines, concludes with a remarkable finale. The events of this turbulent and wondrous world, where a kind of local Darwinism and the principle of survival of the fittest reign supreme, reach their climax. The conflict between the Green Storm and the Moving Cities escalates to unpredictable proportions. We find ourselves transported to the front lines of this raging battle, accompanied by familiar characters and others we encounter for the first time. What will these events lead us to? What fate awaits Earth? Will we be able to escape the destructive forces of Odin? What role will London play in all of this? Will the Children of Medusa succeed in their quest? Or will the Harvesting Suburbs have the final say? A brilliant sequel to an even more magnificent series, where love, greed, loss, longing, and betrayal intertwine, all within the crucible of a raging war that transforms Earth into a dark wasteland.
