From a New York Times bestseller, тАЬfirmly planted in the steampunk genre, an epic-scale story┬а.┬а.┬а. with beautiful illustrationsтАЭ based on the album from Rush(Booklist).
┬а
A remarkable collaboration that is unprecedented in its scope and realization, this exquisitely wrought novel represents an artistic project between the bestselling science fiction author Kevin J. Anderson and the multiplatinum rock band Rush. RushтАЩs concept album, Clockwork Angels, sets forth a story in Neil PeartтАЩs lyrics that has been expanded by Peart and Anderson into this epic novel. In a young manтАЩs quest to follow his dreams, he is caught between the grandiose forces of order and chaos. He travels across a lavish and colorful world of steampunk and alchemy with lost cities, pirates, anarchists, exotic carnivals, and a rigid Watchmaker who imposes precision on every aspect of daily life. The mind-bending story is complemented with rich paintings by the five-time Juno Award winner for Best Album Design, Hugh Syme.

тАЬStands on its own merits as a grand adventure tale woven with threads of various themes enough to keep it fresh, exciting and engaging. Ultimately, Clockwork Angels is one of the most human of stories.тАЭ тАФBook Reporter
