Fever Crumb Series
The ''Fever Crumb Series'' is the title of a series of novels written by British author, Philip Reeve, and is the prequel series to his critically acclaimed ''Mortal Engines Quartet''. As of 2015 the series consists of three books: ''Fever Crumb'' (2009), ''A Web of Air'' (2010), and ''Scrivener's Moon'' (2011). The books follow the adventures of the female teenage protagonist, Fever Crumb, as she watches and participates in the creation of the first "Traction City" in the distant future. Reeve stated in 2011 that he had always envisaged a quartet for the series, assuring readers of a fourth installment.
==Setting==
The series is set in the distant future, thousands of years after the Earth was ravaged by a nuclear conflict called the ''Sixty Minute War'', which destroyed civilization, leaving only bare remnants. Unlike in ''Mortal Quartet'' the effects of this war can still be felt, as several mutant species were created by the fallout, including a quasi-sentient race of seagulls, known as "Angels", and a new race of Woolly Mammoth creatures that are seemingly explained by a throwback caused by excessive radiation. The humanoid "Scriven" race, practically extinct in the later work, are at first thought to also be mutants. It is later discovered that their creation was deliberate, with the longer lifespans and more resilient systems included in the Scriven design intended for the preservation of the human race in the harsh postwar conditions. The world has become geographically unstable, with vast natural disasters.
Large land barges feature prominently as smaller predecessors to the subsequent vehicles. A war has been raging between the Nomads; this conflict is partially created by Land Admiral Nikola Quercus (later Nicholas Quirke), employing the theories of Auric Godshawk (a deceased Scriven scientist) to build a moving city.
