Product Description

"Fever Crumb" is a stunning, stand-alone prequel to Philip Reeve's brilliant science fantasy quartet. It is set many generations before the events of Mortal Engines, in whose dazzling world huge, predatory cities chase and devour each other. Now, London is a riot-torn, ruinous town, clinging to a devastated landscape and hiding an explosive secret. Is Fever, adopted daughter of Dr Crumb, the strange key that will unlock its dangerous mysteries?

5.0 out of 5 stars Strong fourth book in series, Oct 22 2009

By	Peter Tyrrell "Peaeater" (Victoria, BC Canada) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Fever Crumb 5 (Hardcover)

This is a strong fourth book in an already delightful series. I couldn't wait for the Canadian release so I had a copy shipped from the UK, and it was well worth the effort.

What Philip Reeve is really good at is working fresh and inventive ideas into a well-known genre, so that while I'm drawn to the post-high-tech-apocalypse setting for its own sake, I'm constantly grinning at his artistry. He has some just wild standalone hi-tech ideas (e.g. the paperboys), but is also able to make clich�d scenarios all new: wait until you read the "car chase" scene.

As in the previous three books, he does not shirk from creating morally difficult characters, which is unusual in books for teens period, let alone science fiction. He is also not afraid to let characters die, not necessarily heroically. It adds a heap of satisfying intellectual and emotional reality to an already believable and seductive storyline.

This is a prequel, and there's a certain amount of it dedicated to backstory that sheds light on characters and events in the other books, but not in a domineering way, and you could read this book first without having read the others, no problem.

If you liked the first three, you'll love this, and if you didn't like the first three, nothing will convince you.
