Steampunk
by RiponGood
Are you a steampunk fan? If so you should check out Jay Lake’s Mainspring and Escapement novels. In Mainspring clockmaker's apprentice Hethor Jacques is sent by the Archangel Gabriel to find the lost Key Perilous. The keys are needed to rewind the Mainspring of the World, initially put in place when God created it.
Escapement tells the story of Paolina Barthes, a young genius, and two companions, Emily Childress, a librarian, and Threadgill Angus Al-Wazir. Together and apart they will play an important role in driving a tunnel through the Wall, which seperates Europe from the Sothern Earth.
If you're interested in more classic steampunk check-out H. G. Wells’ Complete Science Fiction Treasury. It has many of his classic stories including The Time Machine, one of my favorites.
