REVELATION SPACE

First edition, first printing. Publisher's original black cloth with silver titles to the spine, in the Chris Moore illustrated dustwrapper. A near fine copy, the binding square and firm, the contents with light spotting to all edges of the closed text block, are clean throughout and without inscriptions or stamps. Complete with the lightly creased dustwrapper, that is free from fading, loss or tears. Not price-clipped (£17.99 to the front flap).

The author's first novel, the first book set in his epic 'Revelation Space' science fiction universe and the first instalment in the 'Inhibitor Sequence'. Reynolds has a PhD in astrophysics and spent many years working for the European Space Research and Technology Centre before becoming a full-time writer; his scientific knowledge underpins the Revelation Space universe, lending it particular detail and plausibility.
