"... somewhere in the vast reaches of space, there may well be other universes with completely different natural laws [than in our own cosmos]." DAW Books, 1984. Mass market paperback, 1st printing. Science fiction novel where gravity is a repulsive, rather than attractive force. Prince Kernin is on a hero's journey through this strange universe. David Lake was not a prolific author of fiction, but his work was poetic and creative. He also wrote literary criticism.
