A brilliant fantasy that will hook you from the very
first page, set aboard a huge ship-city in which the elites live on the
top decks while the Filthies toil below. Strong writing, a vivid
alternative world and characters you'll never forget.
Col lives on the Upper Decks of the juggernaut
Worldshaker,
a mobile city as big as a mountain. He has been chosen as next Supreme
Commander - but then a girl Filthy escaped from Below appears in his
cabin. 'Don't let 'em take me!' she begs.
Will he hand her over, or will he break all the rules?
Col's safe, elite world is about to fall apart.
'
Worldshaker is a terrific adventure, full of sly humour, weird
and wonderful characters, and plot twists I never saw coming. More,
more!' Ian Irvine
'I loved
Worldshaker! A claustrophobic setting of rivets, iron
and steam, rustling silks and stiff collars and even stiffer manners;
dark, twisting, bustling, brilliant. I was very, very glum when it came
to an end.' D.M. Cornish
'I was captivated from the beginning.' Samantha, 15
