Jay Lake has been hovering around the edge of my observable SF/fantasy universe for a while now, finally entering that universe when I read his Clockwork Earth series. Unfortunately,
Mainspring
disappointed me, and while the other two books in the trilogy were a big improvement on it, I was not much impressed. Sometime between acquiring Mainspring and reading it, however, I decided to buy this anthology from Subterranean Press.

For me, this is one of the best collections of 2010. There's such a pleasing range and diversity about the writing although, truth be told, there are obvious unifying themes running through most of the stories. The jacket artwork was good in introducing me to a French artist. I am seriously impressed: http://phrenologik.free.fr/aurelienpo...

Another read for the Endeavour Award. An eclectic mixture of short stories - mostly great (an one completely unreadable) - fantasy, sf, world of Green, world of Mainspring. Liked it quite a bit actually - the best I've read of Jay Lake. 4 of 5.
A few gems and a few clunkers. This guy likes to write about subjects that are just a touch beyond his ability- and once in a while it works.
