It's six months after the tumultuous adventures on Brighton and Wren Natsworthy and her father Tom have taken to the skies in their airship, the Jenny Haniver. Wren is loving life as an aviatrix but Tom is troubled by Hester's disappearance and the old wound caused by Pennyroyal's bullet.  Then a fluke encounter with a familiar face sets him thinking about the ruins of London and the possibility of going back. Meanwhile, the fragile truce between the Green Storm and the Traction Cities splinters and hostilities break out again. Events are set on a collision course as things end where they began, with London. Cover art by David Frankland.
  • Book III of Mortal Engines. Anchorage is no more. The brave ice city that rescued Tom and Hester so long ago is now a static settlement -Anchorage-in-Vineland, a sleepy hidden secret, full of people who have forgotten hard times and children who never knew them. Bored children, like Wren Natsworthy, their daughter.  Wren is fifteen and thinks she wants excitement.  When the Lost Boys turn up on the beach looking for the Tin Book, Wren's sure this is her adventure.  But trusting the Lost Boys is a dangerous start to any adventure and before the day is over Wren finds herself a captive, then a slave, and then the bait that leads Tom and Hester back into perilous waters.
