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.

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!

Great narration! Suspenseful and interestingly fun audiobook to listen to!

A genuinely great book! Fun to listen as the narrator’s extraordinary voice
Characterization really brought the cast to life.
As always author Philip Reeve puts a lot of thought into the fast moving plot it’s humor, lots of suspense, besides some pretty nasty villains and smart and very brave people!

The story line

I really like the story, I was super excited when I found Philip Reeves made a new book me being a long time fan of the first four books, I loved the narrator half they kept the same guy, yo da man Barnaby Edwards, the only thing I had a problem with was following the story and the was only sometimes, I also really wish there was some call back to the original four books, but seriously this was a great book

My favorite of the Mortal Engines trilogy

I loved the storyline and how it constantly changes from seeming safe to actually being a trap or a very dangerous situation. I hope very much that there will be a sequel.
