FEVER CRUMB by Philip Reeve
Fever Crumb is a prequel to Philip Reeve’s Mortal Engines Quartet, which took place in a city-eat-city world where tiered traction cities roll the earth and devour each other for resources. Set in the period just before the great cities begin to roll, Reeve sets into motion the conflict between a stationary London and the nomadic horde known as the Movement. These barbaric invaders have a great deal of technology at their disposal, having already learned the art of resurrecting the fallen into Stalkers, machine men made for killing. What they don’t have is a secret they believe London possesses. It is this secret that drives the novel, along with the mysteries of Fever’s parentage and the strange microscopic machines that inhabit her blood.

Fever Crumb stands alone, but has extra resonance if one knows the rest of the books. Think of it as The Magician's Nephew to The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe.

I'm not going to quiz you as to whether you actually read my reviews, but it is beneficial to me if you at least click through. And you might be surprised---as I have been---to find something you like.
Thanks!
