Jay Lake's first trade novel can be an astounding work of creation. Lake has envisioned a clockwork solar system, where the planets move around in a huge system of gears across the lamp of sunlight. It is a universe where the hand of the Creator is visible to anyone who simply looks up in to the sky and sees the tabs on the heavens, the wheels of the Moon, and the great Equitorial gears of the Earth itself. Mainspring is the storyline of a clockmaker's apprentice, who's visited by the Archangel Gabriel. He's told that he must take the Key Perilous and rewind the Mainspring of the Earth. It is running down, and disaster to the planet will ensue whether it's not rewound. From innocence and ignorance to power and self-knowledge, the son can make the long and perilous journey to the South Polar Axis to satisfy the commandment of his God.
