I can't stop thinking big...
International bestselling author Kevin J. Anderson teams up with Rush
lyricist and drummer Neil Peart to expand the story set out in
Clockwork Angels, the twentieth studio album by the legendary rock
band.
All the journeys of this great adventure--It didn't always feel that way
For more than two centuries, the land of Albion has been ruled by the
supposedly benevolent Watchmaker, who imposes precision on every aspect
of life. Young Owen Hardy from the village of Barrel Arbor dreams of
seeing the big city and the breathtaking Clockwork Angels that dispense
wisdom to the people, maybe even catching a glimpse of the Watchmaker
himself.
I was brought up to believe...
He watches the steamliners drift by, powered by alchemical energy, as
they head toward Crown City--never dreaming that he is already caught
between the grandiose forces of order and chaos, between the Watchmaker
and his nemesis, the Anarchist.
Owen's journeys begin at a fabulous carnival with clockwork wonders
beyond his imagination, and take him aboard airships, far into the
Redrock Desert to seek lost cities, through storms at sea to encounters
with pirates...and give him a chance at love.
Clockwork Angels: The Novel is a remarkable, innovative story unlike
any other.
The basis for this novel, Clockwork Angels: The Album by Rush, is
