Philip Reeve; A Web of Air; Signed/remarqued copy of this Mortal Engines novel, first printing, 2010

A signed and remarqued edition of this title from the hugely popular children's fantasy series, Mortal Engines. There is a beautiful fine pen illustration to the title page. Only a few special copies would have had this.

Philip Reeve’s Mortal Engines series is a bold blend of steampunk fantasy and dystopian science fiction, set in a far future where vast mobile cities roam the world, consuming smaller towns in a harsh system known as Municipal Darwinism. Following Tom Natsworthy and the fiercely independent Hester Shaw, the books examine the costs of technological ambition, imperial power, and environmental ruin, without offering simple heroes or villains. Inventive, dark, and emotionally resonant, the series is celebrated for its striking world-building and its readiness to show that progress often comes at a heavy price.
