Description

Return to the world of Mortal Engines in this book of three short stories about the rebellious young aviatrix, Anna Fang, illustrated by Ian McQue. THE TIMES CHILDREN'S BOOK OF THE WEEK - July 2018 "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. MORE PRAISE FOR NIGHT FLIGHTS "Solid storytelling with engrossing adventures; fans will be grateful for a firsthand account from the elusive character" Kirkus Review "Ian McQue's grayscale illustrations fill the pages and evoke both impressive machines and memorable characters. [...] this is a great collection for fans of the series" Litlens "Night Flights is one of those books that is sure to be loved by long-time fans but also feels accessible to new readers"

Diese Kurzgeschichtensammlung zentriert sich um eine der interessantesten Figuren des Mortal Engines-Universums: Anna Fang. In drei Geschichten erfahren wir mehr über die junge Rebellin. Woher sie kommt, wie sie zu der wurde, die sie ist, und vor allem - wie sie zur Jenny Haniver kam. Kurzweilig erzählt von Philip Reeve und vorzüglich von Ian McQue illustriert, gehört das Buch definitiv in jede Sammlung eines Fans der Reihe. Ich persönlich habe mich hier sogar wohler gefühlt als in den Hauptwerken. Wenn auch die erste Geschichte anfangs ein wenig zu märchenhaft daherkommt. Dieser Ausflug in die Welt der zerstörerischen Städte hat mir weitaus besser gefallen aus das letzte Werk, das ich dazu gelesen hatte, und hat mich gleich wieder mit dem Universum versöhnt. Anna ist halt einfach cool :)
