Signed by Philip Reeve on the title page. Near fine in a near fine dust jacket. Jacket illustration by David Frankland. The third thrilling book in the award-winning Mortal Engines Quartet, Infernal Devices continues the story sixteen years after the events of Predator's Gold. The former ice city of Anchorage has settled on an island in North America unaffected by the fallout from the Sixty Minute War and has become a static city named Anchorage-in-Vineland. Most of the inhabitants are happy with their new life, but Wren Natsworthy, the teenage daughter of Tom Natsworthy and Hester Shaw, is bored with her life and seeks adventure. The first book in the quartet, Mortal Engines was adapted into the 2018 steampunk film directed by Christian Rivers and with a screenplay by Fran Walsh, Philippa Boyens, and Peter Jackson.
