Description

Clockwork Angels is a project like no other and, for fans of Rush, is the equivalent of someone writing a companion novel to Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band at the same time it was released. Bestselling sci-fi novelist Kevin J. Anderson, whose has written Star Wars and X-Files books, here turns an awesome musical adventure into an epic steampunk tale. The story centres around a young man's quest to follow his dreams. He is caught between the grandiose forces of order and chaos in a tale of lost cities, pirates, anarchists, carnivals and a rigid watchmaker.

Reviews

"dazzling locales, memorable characters and high adventure that will make you think long after you're done. What more can you ask from a book" - Sci Fi Pulse

"while reading this book the songs of the album played out in my head. Now while listening to the songs, the chapters of the book play out in my head." - The Lofty Oaks

"stunning steampunk adventure ... filled with ruthless pirates, old-fashioned airships and strange lands." - Sci Fi Magazine

"...the ideology of a well-structured society that allows very little personal choice and the concept of complete freedom for the individual to do as they choose with no governing intervention are pitted against each other. This underlying theme provided much depth to the story and made it far more interesting than the simple story presented on the surface." - The World According to Mr. Flying Pig

"if you are no fan of genre works, I would still very highly recommend Clockwork Angels. It stands 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." - Book Reporter
