A great, steampunk-based book, set in a torn up and desolate world where cities move along the ground like oversized turtles. First scene is London chasing down and EATING a smaller salt mining town. Huzzah!

Add a CommentGreat science fiction book mixed with a bit of history.
Amazing book, great ideas, and i get a lot of inspiration for things like art
Excellent series, much better than a lot of "adult" SF I have read lately.
pretty much the best sci fi book that I have ever read!
This is my all time favorite book, it is a must read for teen or even adult science fiction readers, and has a very good storyline that twists throughout the books and prequels.
