About this listen

Welcome to the astounding world of Predator Cities!

Emerging from its hiding place in the hills, the great Traction City is chasing a terrified little town across the wastelands. Soon, London will feed.

In the attack, Tom Natsworthy is flung from the speeding city with a murderous scar-faced girl. They must run for their lives through the wreckage - and face a terrifying new weapon that threatens the future of the world.

Good story with excellent narration. The story is quite different to the movie. Many parts of the story were not in the movie. The book has a better story line and character development. plus the bad guys in the story have different developement than the movie.

It only took me 2 days to listen to this audiobook. I'm sure I must have been doing other things in the mean time, but I can't for the life of me think what they were.

This was excellent. I was impressed by the concepts, the character development, and the plot. So much of it ran contrary to what I have come to expect from Young Adult novels. (Maybe I need to revise those expectations!)

Part Steampunk, part post-Apocalyptic thriller, this also reminded me a bit of the Okie novels by James Blish. Another four books added to my to-read list.

And I've started on "Predator Gold," the second novel.

A fast-moving thriller

A good listen to those wanting a steampunk story including action, adventure and moving cities. The story wont blow your mind, but the writing and performance will keep you interested. #audible1

I would have loved to have seen a lot more character development, I thoroughly enjoyed the story and also the characters, it left me wanting more.

Good story, too short.

Definitely an interesting concept, and very excited to learn more about this world!! It’s pretty hard for me to find new book to keep my attention consistently but I found myself thinking about it whenever I wasn’t listening!

Kept my attention the whole time, very solid story and decent pacing
