What to do after Lord of the Rings? That was the question that Peter Jackson. His answer came a couple years after what fans would’ve liked-and it’s not in the form that they expect, but it’s here. Mortal Engines is the first book in a quartet that was written by Phillip Reeve. This is steam punk post-apocalypse, where the cities are now built on machines that crawl on land and devour other cities. Sign us up.
We’ve always been down with steam punk. On the way the Dragon Con last year our youngest sat beside a steam punk Colonel Sanders. To him (and us) it was one of the highlights of the con and produced some of the most memorable photos. I state that to say that my admiration of steam punk has somehow traveled down the gene chain to the kids.
