About this ebook
London is a city on wheels - a future city like you've never known before. In the terrible aftermath of the Sixty Minute War, cities which survived the apocalypse became predators, chasing and feeding on smaller towns. Now London is hunting down its prey, getting ready to feed. But as the chase begins, Tom uncovers a secret - a secret full of deadly consequences. Soon he is plunged into a world of unkillable enemies, threatened by a weapon that will tear his life apart... Winner of the Nestle Gold Award and the Blue Peter Book of the Year Award, this is a book to devour again and again.

I found this an amazing book, so well written. I liked the way that you followed the various characters and then how it seems to all speed towards the conclusion. Very hard to put down. Loved the play on references to things from our world that they had no idea about.

Had to read this for a degree course. Wasn't sure if I fancied it but oh wow. I could not put this book down. Really want to read the rest of the books once I have finished studying and have a life again.

I picked the first book up years ago during world book day and it's been a series that has stuck with me for a good half a decade now. I've recently re-read the entire series, and Fever Crumb pre-series and it's still right up in my favourites. Even after seven years of English Literature.
