Alastair Reynolds — Signed First Edition, First Printing — Victor Gollancz, London, 2002
Redemption Ark is the second major novel in Alastair Reynolds's Revelation Space universe, continuing the story of Nevil Clavain begun in the short stories "Great Wall of Mars" and "Glacial." The Inhibitors — ancient machines seeded across the universe to detect and suppress intelligent life — have returned, and humanity is doomed unless Clavain and a handful of others can act. Named "Best Science Fiction Novel of the Year" by Chronicle magazine, the book is a landmark of hard science fiction space opera from the Welsh author, physicist, and former European Space Agency scientist.
This is a confirmed first edition, first printing ("First published in Great Britain in 2002" stated on the copyright page), signed by the author on the title page. Reynolds's work is widely recognized for its combination of hard science fiction and large-scale space opera, and signed first editions from the Revelation Space series are collected as a cohesive set, particularly alongside Revelation Space and Chasm City.
Dust jacket fine, housed in an archival sleeve with light shelf wear to the sleeve itself. Pages clean, with light foxing to the top page edge. Binding tight and intact.
