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.
