Reviews
“A dark, wild mix of machine and magic–an impressive debut novel from short story maestro Jay Lake.” —Greg Bear on Mainspring
“In Mainspring, Lake has created a grandiose, thoroughly engaging blasphemy. This book blends the best of nostalgic adventure fiction with a genuinely fresh voice and ideas. An instant steampunk classic.” —Cory Doctorow, author of Someone Comes to Town, Someone Leaves Town
“From the sweeping mechanisms of his clockwork world, down to the subtle movements of his characters, all drawn with a clockmaker’s eye, Lake gives us a story both grand and intimate, smart and savvy… and a whole lot of fun to boot.” —Hal Duncan, author of Vellum
