Mortal Engines
Anna is introduced as a friendly Asian aviator who helps Tom Natsworthy and Hester Shaw escape slavery. She seems nothing more than an honest trader with an airship called the Jenny Haniver, but they later discover that she is actually a secret agent for the Anti-Traction League, but remain her friend.
Anna is killed while battling Thaddeus Valentine at Batmunkh Gompa. Tom and Hester "inherit" the Jenny Haniver from her.

“What quarrel, what harshness, what unbelief in each other can subsist in the presence of a great calamity, when all the artificial vesture of our life is gone, and we are all one with each other in primitive mortal needs?”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
“America is like one of those old-fashioned six-cylinder truck engines that can be missing two sparkplugs and have a broken flywheel and have a crankshaft that’s 5000 millimeters off fitting properly, and two bad ball-bearings, and still runs. We’re in that kind of situation. We can have substantial parts of the population committing suicide, and still run and look fairly good.”
—Thomas McGuane (b. 1939)
