Overview:
Step into Philip Reeve’s dazzlingly original world—the Traction Era—where towering mobile cities traverse a post-apocalyptic landscape in a spectacular blend of science fantasy and high-octane adventure. This 7-book collection brings together the epic arc of the Mortal Engines sequence with the thrilling prequel Fever Crumb, offering readers a panoramic journey from ancient London’s collapse to the accelerating engines of a world built on scavenged technology and unlikely heroism. Expect fast-paced chases across ice seas, cliff-face cities, and wind-blasted wastelands, where ingenuity, courage, and unlikely friendships push characters to the edge. The set is ideal for fans of immersive world-building, inventive machines, and stories that pair heart-pounding action with clever, character-driven storytelling. With seven complete adventures in one affordable package, it’s the perfect entry into a landmark series or a comprehensive re-entry for longtime readers who want to revisit the momentum and wonder of Reeve’s universe.

What Makes This Collection Special:
What unites these seven novels is a finely tuned balance between scale and intimacy. You’ll follow audacious engineers, relentless scavengers, and brave young protagonists as they navigate shifting loyalties and moral choices in a world where cities literally hunt one another. The Fever Crumb prequel expands the backstory of the Traction Era, setting the stage for the larger conflict and revealing the origins of critical technologies and tensions. Across the set, recurring themes—survival against overwhelming odds, the ethics of progress, and the surprising humanity found in even the most hardened characters—provide a satisfying through-line for binge-reading. The result is a collectible, gift-worthy box of adventures that rewards re-reading, with layers of detail and evolving stakes that deepen with every installment.

Books Included in This Collection:
Mortal Engines
The opening salvo of the Traction Era introduces Tom Natsworthy and Hester Shaw as their world’s warping cities clash and collide. The sprawling chase to outrun rival powers and predatory cities becomes a masterclass in world-building, with sharp humor, brisk suspense, and a heart-wrenching glimmer of hopeful humanity. Readers are drawn into a future where survival hinges on clever tech, daring journeys, and choices that reveal who we are when society’s supposed rules fall away.

Predator's Gold
Tom and Hester seek sanctuary aboard a fast-moving air-ship city, only to be pulled into a web of political intrigue, betrayal, and danger. The pursuit by rocket-firing gunships and the decision to seek asylum in Anchorage—the icebound metropolis—offer high-stakes action and expanding scope. This sequel broadens the landscape and deepens character dynamics while delivering the signature blend of swashbuckling adventure and moral complexity that fans crave.

Infernal Devices
In this pivotal entry, Tom and Hester’s daughter, Wren, grows into a capable, curious young protagonist who longs to escape the safety of static Anchorage. The novel expands the series’ emotional and thematic range, exploring ambition, identity, and the costs of peace in a world where engineering marvels coexist with danger at every turn. The stakes rise as loyalties are tested and new dangers emerge from the shadows of a world built on mobility and conquest.

A Darkling Plain
The epic conclusion of the core sequence pits old rivalries against new threats as mobile cities confront a future full of uncertainty. War, ethics, sacrifice, and the consequences of unchecked progress collide in a finale that binds the series’ threads—love, loyalty, and the unpredictable price of survival. This is velocity-driven storytelling at its best, with moments of quiet, devastating insight that linger long after the last page.

Fever Crumb
A stunning stand-alone prequel that drops readers into London’s war-torn past, long before the big engines of the Traction Era began to turn. Fever Crumb’s journey as an ambitious inventor and traveler reveals the origins of the world’s colossal machines and the roots of the city-chasing culture. It’s a masterful entry point for newcomers and a rewarding companion piece for fans eager to understand the genesis of the universe they already love.

A Web of Air
Two years after Fever Crumb fled London, she arrives in the extraordinary cratr city of Mayda, a setting where buildings climb cliff faces on rails and a reclusive genius works to unleash flight. Fever’s engineering talent is put to the test as rival factions collide over revolutionary ideas. This book blends wonder with peril, offering dazzling world-building and a pulse-pounding voyage that expands the series’ scope and possibilities.

Scrivener's Moon
In a Britain transformed by nomadic tribes and the looming threat of the first mobile city, Fever Crumb must venture into the frigid North to confront a new nightmare. This instalment threads together thematic echoes from earlier books while pushing the action into uncharted terrains, delivering a fitting, forward-looking close to the collection’s overarching journey and a satisfying capstone to Fever Crumb’s arc.
