Ceremony Guest Author – Philip Reeve

Philip ReevePhilip Reeve is an author who has a long history of writing excellent science fiction books. Mortal Engines, first published in 2001, has been one of my personal favourites for a long time.  So successful was this book that three sequels were published – Predator’s Gold, Infernal Devices and A Darkling Plain.  Then a prequel was added – Fever Crumb – which itself spawned two sequels of its own.  The world we see in Mortal Engines, of cities on the move, preying on each other, is very exciting and very believable.  If you have enjoyed Mortal Engines, do go on to read the sequels.  And watch out for his newest book, Rail Head, which is published this month. It Mortal Enginessounds as if it is related to the world of Mortal Engines, with sentient trains, and I can’t wait to read it!  Read more about Philip Reeve and his new book on his website here: http://www.philip-reeve.com/
