A Web of Air is a young adult post-apocalyptic science fiction novel by British writer Philip Reeve. It is the second book in the Fever Crumb series, a prequel series to the Mortal Engines Quartet. It was published on 5 April 2010.
The clever young engineer, Fever Crumb, is swept up in a race to build a flying machine. Her mysterious companion is a boy who talks to Angels. Powerful enemies will kill to possess their new technology-or to destroy it.
