Tamzin Pook and her group of unlikely fighters-turned-friends have managed to make it out of Thorbury alive. Now with a massive, terrifying, armored, and un-dead Revenant (and its pet kitten) as one of their gang.

Here, Tamzin, Max Angmering, Oddington Doom, and Hilly Torpenhow are in for the toughest fight of their lives. But as they battle for the fate of Museion against the terrible predators that surround them, people on board Museion start to die one by one from a traitor within. They've got to figure out an escape, but every direction looks like a trap. Don't miss this epic companion to Thunder City, set in the world of the Mortal Engines quartet.
