Mortal Engines

Mortal Engines is a series of childrens books by Philip Reeve, a steampunk far future where great traction cities prowl the world consuming each other according to the laws of Municipal Darwinism. While it is written for children I would definately recommend this series. All the imagination and flare seems to be in the area of 'childrens' books these days and I would argue that the term should not mean limited only to children but that they are able to read it as well as adults, after all, why should they have all the fun? They are excellent books, brilliant ideas and get my round of applause.
