Predator's Gold (Hungry City Chronicles #2)

Predator's Gold is the second book in Philip Reeve's Hungry City Chronicles - a futuristic steampunk adventure series.

Taking place two years after the first book, Tom and Hester have been traveling around the north on the airship Jenny Haniver.

While fleeing from the Green Storm, a radical splinter group of the anti-traction league (a group that wants cities to stop moving around the world on tracks, settle down and re-green the planet), Tom and Hester land on the small city of Anchorage.

Anchorage is making its way across the ice, around Greenland, in an attempt to make it to the Dead Continent of America - all based on the book of an alternative historian.

Together with the people of Anchorage, Tom and Hester will fight the Green Storm, fight ice pirates, and run from the larger city of Arkangel, all in an attempt to survive.

Reeve is a master storyteller who has created a fascinating and believable future with compelling characters and a thrilling plot.
