About this listen

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.

Not a bad book but didn't seem to really catch me. Interesting world building with a lot going on however It feels aimed at a young audience with quite obvious even on the nose writing. Lacked fleshing out and some depth.

it's fine.

A well told story made real by the narrater, making this alternate future world come to life.
I wish the author had expanded on the functions of the gut and reclamation of the prey however an enjoyable story and I am looking forward to.the next book.

Narrater aided the belief in the characters.
