Tretia časť fenomenálnej fantasy série Smrteľné stroje! Motory povesťami opradeného mesta Anchorage sa zastavili v nekonečnom tichu Mŕtveho kontinentu, kde sa kedysi rozkladala prosperujúca veľmoc menom Amerika. Tom Natsworthy a Hester Shawová si po dobrodružstvách vo vzduchu, pod hladinou i na rozheganých palubách mobilných miest užívajú zaslúžené chvíle šťastia a pokoja na pevnej zemi. Ich dcéra Wren však dňom i nocou sníva o vlastných dobrodružstvách. Jej chvíľa nastane, keď sa na brehu mesta vynorí záhadný pirát so žiadosťou o pomoc s hľadaním vzácneho artefaktu. Wren chytí príležitosť za pačesy – netuší však, že tým len rozdúcha nový plameň v neutíchajúcom konflikte, ktorý by mohol nadobro spáliť celý svet na popol.

La Storia ci insegna proprio questo: che la vita va avanti, anche se i singoli individui muoiono e intere civiltà vengono distrutte; che le cose più semplici durano, ripetute in eterno dalle nuove generazioni. Sono passati sei mesi dalle vicende raccontate in Congegni infernali e Londra è ormai il fantasma della città che era un tempo. Wren sta iniziando a godersi la sua nuova vita da aviatrice, e non può nemmeno lontanamente immaginare che il padre Tom, che soffre ancora terribilmente per la mancanza di Hester, la stia tenendo all''oscuro di un''informazione molto importante che lo riguarda. Quando entrambi, per portare a termine una missione, fanno ritorno a Londra, scoprono che in quel che rimane della città predatrice si nasconde un segreto che potrebbe finalmente porre termine alla guerra. Ma cercare di portarlo alla luce, nel poco tempo che hanno a disposizione, potrebbe mettere a rischio le loro vite. Nel frattempo, molto lontano da lì, a loro insaputa, Hester è costretta a fronteggiare un nemico potente che, se non verrà fermato per tempo, potrebbe usare l''arma di cui è in possesso per distruggere l''umanità intera...

In the distant future, when cities move about and consume smaller towns, Tom and Hester hope that the ice city of Anchorage will reach the rumored haven of the Dead Continent--America--before the savage Hunstmen of Arkangel find them.

Mais avec sa fille Wren, ils ne sont pas les seuls à s''intéresser Londres : les armées des locomopoles approchent...
