From a New York Times bestseller, âfirmly planted in the steampunk genre, an epic-scale story . . . with beautiful illustrationsâ based on the album from Rush(Booklist).
Â
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. Rushâs concept album, Clockwork Angels, sets forth a story in Neil Peartâs lyrics that has been expanded by Peart and Anderson into this epic novel. In a young manâs 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.
Â
âStands 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.â âBook Reporter
âA fine piece of dystopian fiction, and it will appeal to readers young and old.â âBooklist
