REVELATION SPACE

First edition, first printing. Signed by the author. Original black cloth with silver titles to the spine, in dustwrapper. A fine copy, the binding square and tight, the contents clean and bright throughout. Complete with the very lightly rubbed original dustwrapper. Not price clipped (£17.99 to the front flap).

Signed by Alastair Reynolds in black ink on the title page. The author's first novel, and 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.
