Synopsis

Anna Fang is a spy. An aviatrix. An escaped slave. But no one knows the whole story - until now. In the dangerous future world of MORTAL ENGINES, huge motorized cities hunt, attack and devour each other. It is there that Anna's home was consumed by Arkangel, the great predator city. She was separated from her parents and kept as a slave in the dark belly of Arkangel - but Anna is determined to be free again. Ian McQue's stunning illustrations bring the city-eat-city world of MORTAL ENGINES alive in these three original stories about thebrave, bold, rebellious Anna Fang. Mortal Engines is coming to the big screen in Christmas 2018 in a new blockbuster feature produced and written by Lord of the Rings director Peter Jackson.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Return to the world of Mortal Engines in this new book of three short stories about the rebellious young aviatrix, Anna Fang, illustrated by Ian McQue. A key character in the Mortal Engines book and film, this is your chance to learn more of her past. Night Flights includes Traction City, the 2011 World Book Day Book by Philip Reeve. In a dangerous future world where gigantic, motorised cities attack and devour each other, London hunts where no other predator dares. But Anna Fang - pilot, adventurer, spy - isn't afraid. The three stories show gripping, moving, exciting moments in Anna Fang's life: her childhood as a slave aboard the moving city Arkangel, a showdown against a robotic Stalker that is terrifyingly out of control and her free life as an intelligence agent for the Anti-Traction league that might not be quite as free as she hoped.
