Due no doubt to Mr Reeve’s literary success and the recent interest in his excellent Mortal Engines books, Larklight has been reissued with yet another cover. Here is a recap of what can be expected within its Victorian-suffused pages…
Marvel as the full force of the law is brought down upon alien miscreants…
Ponder the intricacies of gravity-independent architecture…
Meet interesting characters from the farthest reaches of the Empire…
Experience travel in exotic locations…
Expand your knowledge of the universe beyond…
Be exposed to comment in a medical institution…
Circumnavigate Jupiter in style…
Sail into spider-infested asteroid fields with space-pirates…
Sadly, the new edition has dispensed with the adverts that appeared at the beginning of the previous editions, which is a shame as they set the tone of the book quite nicely. But here they are now…
Just my favourite childhood books. I always loved your illustrations in these, they add such flavour and humour. Shame the adverts won’t be included as they were one of my favourite little details!
Thanks very much, Anna. Fortunately it’s possible to track down second-hand copies of the original hardback should people wish to see it in the way it was intended!
