Lake's clockwork Earth ends a lovely ripping adventure trilogy, with a ripping end, and a rotj like epilogue
Jay Lake somehow ties the multiple threads of his two previous novels in this series in a neat bow by the end of this third volume. Along the way, his characters develop, new wonders unfold, plots thicken without congealing. Lake's clockwork Earth ends a lovely ripping adventure trilogy, with a ripping end, and a rotj like epilogue. These characters will be with me a long time.
Lake wields big themes-magic and religion versus science, free will, colonialism, and a bit of romance-with surprising elegance, and readers will enjoy cherishing the characters and pondering the concepts of this "clockpunk" world.

"The delight is in what's seen en route, as Lake has configured his world-dominating empires, one British, the other Chinese, with huge and devoted attention to the last detail. The delight of the next volume--prefigured with unrelenting clarity in Escapement's final pages--should be the discovery that the destination adds up."--Washington Post Book World on EscapementRejoin the Librarian and the Chinese submarine captain, the British sailor, the clockwork man, and the young sorceress who has gone south of the great equatorial wall.

His three main protagonists all exhibit distinct and memorable personalities that allow us to filter their world through three prisms of intelligence and attitude….Fantasy has always been "escapist" in the best sense of the word, and Lake engineers a fine tale of humans in search of liberation from the clockwork and customs that ensnare them and us as well."--Sci-Fi Weekly on Escapement
