Thunder City

A Mortal Engines Novel

De: Philip Reeve

Narrado por: Barnaby Edwards

An edge-of-your seat adventure set in the iconic world of Mortal Engines!

Tamzin Pook is a fighter in the Amusement Arcade. And what she does best is killing Revenants.

All she knows is survival, having arrived in the Arcade as a small child. She pushes away her memories, her hopes, and her fears, and she emerges into the arena to battle the Revenants—dead brains nestled in armored engine bodies. She doesn't dare to hope or wish for anything more than to survive another day.

Meanwhile, the wheeled city of Motoropolis has been taken over by a rebel faction who killed its leaders and commandeered the city. Its only hope is a teacher named Miss Torpenhow who's determined to find the Mayor's good-for-nothing son and force him to take back what's rightfully his. But to get to him, she'll need to find someone who's skilled at fighting Revenants.

With a daring abduction, Miss Torpenhow and Tamzin Pook's destinies are entwined, and so begin their adventures together...

This stand-alone Mortal Engines novel follows an unlikely crew of fighters-turned friends: Tamzin Pook, Hilly Torpenhow, mayor-to-be Max Angmering, and washed-up mercenary Oddington Doom. Together, they must find a way to outwit the assassins that are determined to drag Tamzin back to the arcade, and try to take back Motoropolis.

Listeners, hold onto your seats—it's going to be a wild ride.

Another Great Story

This story brought back so much of what I loved about the previous Mortal Engines books, and kept my interest through and through. Fun, unique, and lovable characters. Great dialogue. Wonderful voice acting by the talented Barnaby Edwards. It makes me want to go back and experience the rest of the series all over again. This one is well-worth the listen.

Great Addition to Mortal Engines Series

This book was a very fun listen. I've had mixed thoughts on the actual plots of Reeve's books, often thinking they went in odd directions. This book was well thought out to the end.

A great Adventure

This book series has captured me from the beginning. It caused me to go back and see the movie but prefer immensely the books. A great excape!

Another Great Adventure in the Mortal Engines series

It feels written for a slightly younger audience, but still has all the grit and humor of the old books. The new characters are great, but the exposition is clunky and the pace is all too fast at times. I still loved this story and hope to see more!
