Hidden Lightning (A Mortal Engines Novel)

By Philip Reeve

Philip Reeve's unmatched pedal-to-the-metal action reaches new heights as a group of adventurers journeys to the Dead Continent. An edge-of-your-seat adventure set in the iconic world of Mortal Engines

In the world of Mortal Engines, the Predator Cities scour the earth, hunting for prey. But no one ever roams as far as the Dead Continent. Left in ruins after the Sixty Minute War, cursed by all the gods, the place formerly known as North America is toxic and desolate--a death sentence. Even to think about America could bring bad luck.

So when Tamzin Pook and her friends, fighters-for-hire, end up taken prisoner by a piranha city that's headed right for the Dead Continent, determined to start a new life there, they know they're in big trouble. What they don't know is that an assassin is following their every move, and they'll be lucky to even make it that far.

This is the third and final adventure in the Thunder City trilogy, set in the world of Mortal Engines. Join Tamzin and her crew as they journey beyond what anyone thinks is possible, to find the lost secrets of the Ancients.
