Mar. 16th, 2011 05:23 pmTitle: Mainspring
Author: Jay Lake
Genre: Mystical steampunk
Thingummies: 4
Synopsis: The angel Gabriel appears to a clockmaker's apprentice in New Haven, telling him that the Mainspring of the world has wound down. The earth ticks along on the great brass rails that God laid in the heavens, but with each turn of the gear, the world is slowly shuddering to a halt. Now Hethor, no longer an apprentice, must make his way south, from Her Majesty's airships over the great equitoreal Wall, through mysterious jungles to the very bottom of the Earth, discovering a world that is more wondrous, perilous, and strange than he had ever imagined.
Thoughts: ( So, what did you think? )
