Philip Reeve
Predator's Gold
London, Scholastic, 2003.
Fine (unread) in Fine, protected dustjacket.
SIGNED by author on title page.
Promotional bookmark loosely laid in. Reader's Review:
It is a common place in the literary world that an author’s best work is often contained in his debut book and that subsequent books decline in standard as publishers’ demands are striven for rather than excellence pursued. Here we have a denial of that trend.
Philip Reeve’s ‘Mortal Engines’ was a tale to enthrall readers of all ages. By refusing to capitulate to the tyranny of the deadline, Philip Reeve has produced a sequel that is not one wit the inferior of its predecessor.
The adventures of Tom and Hester are resumed as they enter the frozen wastes of the Arctic ice pack. Here mobile cities continue to prey upon each other. After a spell evading the hazards of the north in their airship they land on the moribund town of Anchorage which is engaged in a last, desperate bid for survival by heading towards the dead lands of North America. Rumour has it that there are untainted oases where they can rebuild their future.
The rest of the book is concerned with the many dangers encountered on the journey over the ice towards this legendary land, that may well not exist.
As always, Philip Reeve’s characters are exceptionally well drawn; his narrative compelling; and his attention to detail meticulous. Do not pick up "Predator's Gold" in the evening if you have anything to do the next day. RRJ
