Waterstones Says

The author of cult children's classic Mortal Engines spins a brilliantly realised story of a land of drones and androids and a petty thief with a world-changing secret identity.

Step Aboard - the Universe is Waiting.

The Great Network is a place of drones and androids, Hive Monks and Station Angels. The place of the thousand gates, where sentient trains criss-cross the galaxy in a heartbeat.

It is also a place of great dangers - especially for someone who rides the rails and rides his luck the way Zen Starling does. Once Zen was just a petty thief, stealing to support his family and living by his wits. Now everything has changed. Zen is still a thief - but it could be that the key to the whole universe rests on finding out what else he is.

“Sci -fi for those who think they don't like Sci-fi and those who do ”

I don't usually like Sci-fi but this is such a fantastic book that I made an exception. Why? Well the sci-fi /technology elements never sink the human/ Motorik (androids/robots) storylines. You invest heavily... More
