"This rebel-girl spy merits centre stage" Alex
O’Connell, The Times
A key character in the Mortal Engines book and film, this is your
chance to learn more of her past.
Night Flights includes Traction City, the 2011
World Book Day Book by Philip Reeve.
In a dangerous future world where gigantic, motorised cities attack
and devour each other, London hunts where no other predator
dares.
But Anna Fang - pilot, adventurer, spy - isn't afraid.
The three stories show gripping, moving, exciting moments in Anna
Fang's life:
- her childhood as a slave aboard the moving city Arkangel,
- a showdown against a robotic Stalker that is terrifyingly out
of control
- and her free life as an intelligence agent for the Anti-Traction
league that might not be quite as free as she hoped...
Fully illustrated throughout with stunning drawings
by Ian McQue, cover illustrator of the His Dark Materials
& Book of Dust series by Philip Pullman.
