Salamander, set a century earlier, begins its series of stories within stories with a colonel who comes across a destroyed bookshop during the siege of Quebec. There, he's surprised to encounter an educated young woman who tells him a tale of a Slovakian count whose son has died in battle. To console himself, the count constructs a labyrinthine castle full of ever-shifting mechanized rooms and robots. The count hires a London printer named Nicholas Flood to invent an infinite book, but the young printer's affair with the count's daughter threatens both the project and Flood's future.
