  • ""Emerging from its hiding place in the hills, the great Traction City of London chases one terrified little town across the wastelands. If it cannot overpower smaller, slower prey, the city will come to a standstill and risk being taken over by another. In the attack, Tom Natsworthy, Apprentice Historian to the London Museum, is flung from its speeding superstructure into the barren wasteland of Out-Country. His only companion is Hester Shaw, a murderous, scar-faced girl who does not particularly want Tom's company. But if they are to make it back to London, before Stalkers or hungry cities get them first, they will need to help each other, and fast. If Hester is to be believed, London is planning something atrocious, and the future of the world could be at stake. Can they get back to London before it's too late?"--Page 4 of cover."@en

  • "Ravagée par des guerres nucléaires, la Terre survit dans ce futur postapocalyptique grâce à la construction de villes entières sur roues. Dans les bas-fonds de Londres, une jeune fille, Esther Verne, cherche à tuer le chef de la Guilde des ingénieurs. Tom, jeune apprenti historien, tente de l'en empêcher mais ils tombent tous deux par-dessus bord et se retrouvent dans la Terra Incognita."
  • "Ce roman construit un véritable univers de science-fiction inspiré des romans de Jules Verne ou de Terry Pratchett : entre les villes industrielles du XIXe siècle et les no man's land hostiles. Il représente une métaphore puissante des guerres et de l'appétit de pouvoir."
  • "In the distant future, when cities move about and consume smaller towns, a fifteen-year-old apprentice is pushed out of London by the man he most admires and must seek answers in the perilous Out-Country, aided by one girl and the memory of another."@en
