Fantasy
In his novel Mainspring, Lake created an enormous
canvas for storytelling with his hundred mile high
Equatorial Wall that holds up the great Gears of the
Earth. Now in Escapement, he explores more of that
territory. Paolina Barthes is a young woman of remarkable intellectual
ability – a genius on the level of Isaac Newton. But she has
grown up in isolation, in a small village of shipwreck
survivors, on the Wall in the middle of the Atlantic
Ocean. She knows little of the world, but she knows that
England rules it, and must be the home of people who possess
the learning that she so desperately wants. And so she sets
off to make her way off the Wall, not knowing that she will
bring her astounding, unschooled talent for sorcery to the
attention of those deadly factions who would use or kill her
for it.
