The '''Mortal Engines Quartet''' (known as the Hungry Cities Chronicles in the USA) is a series of books by British author Philip Reeve set in an apocalyptic far future, after a global war known as the Sixty Minute War. Although not part of the main series, the short story "Urbivore", written by Reeve some years earlier, shares many of the main elements with the series as it was ultimately conceived. A possible reference to this fact is made in '''Predator's Gold''', when one of the characters refers to [[Arkangel]] as a "lumbering urbivore."
