In this picaresque fantasy set after civilization has self-destructed and partially recovered, a traveling circus tries to procure a converter for the city of Solis, which is running out of power. Mahy juggles an ambitiously large number of characters, settings, crises, lucky escapes, and imaginative marvels (though there are some occasional contradictory details). The journey's extended tension will lure action fans.
