Welcome to the astounding world of Predator Cities!
Emerging from its hiding place in the hills, the great Traction City is chasing a terrified little town across the wastelands. Soon, London will feed.
In the attack, Tom Natsworthy is flung from the speeding city with a murderous scar-faced girl. They must run for their lives through the wreckage - and face a terrifying new weapon that threatens the future of the world.

Well that was good.
My brother recommended this. Said it was one of the best stories on the planet. He should know. So I risked it for a biscuit and got a cakes worth. Also bought the job lot for me mams birthday. Fantastic story and the narration is second to none. In fact the narration is probably the best I have on Audible. Blimmin brilliant.

amazingly narrated story
it has been years since I read this book and re-visiting this on audible made it so much better then I remember and the narration is first class and really brings the characters to life in a way I din't think would be possible

I do like Philip Reeve
Read this book a long time ago when I bought it for my son before the series was complete. Now that it is being made into a film I wanted to refresh my memory. This audio book is well done. There is good chacterisation in dialogue and varied enough between characters. Would definitely recommend it.

Brilliant story
Love Barnaby Edward's reading of the first book in the Mortal Engines quartet. Can't wait to see the Peter Jackson film when it comes out around Christmas 2019! Philip Reeve is a brilliant storyteller and the concept of moving cities which work on a system of 'Municipal Darwinism' is wonderfully clever.

The film peaked my interest, the book made me love
I actually only saw trailers to the film which released in December 2018 but what I saw intrigued me. After a google I discovered it was based on a novel and so that became my next purchase.
I absolutely loved it. The concept, the world and the story are great. Reeve is able to establish a intriguing and unique world (kind of a cross between Mad Max and Howl’s Moving Castle).
Barnaby Edwards is an excellent narrator and brings convincing array of characters (well voiced and uniquely identifiable) throughout. I would highly recommend it. I’m gutted to have missed the film but will definitely catch it upon DVD release.
I’ve already bought Book 2, didn’t even wait for my next credit!

just fantastic narration and story.
A cracking tale from start to finish. Transported me away from my commute and to a different world. Philip populates his futuristic setting in a highly convincing way. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a bit of escapism.
