Mortal Engines

When Tom Natsworthy and Hester are taken aboard the suburb, Peavey plans to keep them as slaves. However, he finds out that Tom is a Londoner and asks Tom if he will help Turnbridge Wheels become a respectable town like London, to which Tom agrees after some persuasion from Hester. Peavey plans to have his town eat the town of Airhaven on the Black Island. As Tunbridge Wheels moves towards the black island, the suburb is attacked by Anna Fang in the Jenny Hanvier. However, the Jenny Haniver does only minor damage to Tunbridge Wheels, and the suburb continues on its journey. On its journey the suburb is distracted by fishing boats however, all but one is too quick for Tunbridge Wheels. The one that is chased leads the suburb into a trap; sharp rocks which sink Tunbridge Wheels. Peavey takes a boat with Tom and Hester to the Black Island, still intending to take over Airhaven, however he falls in the mud and drowns. His band of pirates are killed when Shrike arrives. His cause of death was that he got shot twice then falling into mud, drowning him. Peavy had a family, wife and children, whom died when Tunbridge was sinking, and destroyed.
