Illustrated by
David Wyatt.
In Reeve's third space-opera satire set in a Victorian Britain that has colonized space, the universe is once more under siege. Enterprising young lad Art and his (less proper) sister Myrtle share the narrative duties as they brave peril, brainwashing, and flare-propelled pulpits. Wyatt's sharply defined spot art enhances the strangeness, humor, and dynamism of Reeve's singular universe.
