Om denne e-bog
From a New York Times bestseller, "firmly planted in the steampunk genre, an epic-scale story . . . with beautiful illustrations" based on the album from Rush ( Booklist).
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. Rush's concept album, Clockwork Angels, sets forth a story in Neil Peart's lyrics that has been expanded by Peart and Anderson into this epic novel. In a young man's 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.
"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
"A fine piece of dystopian fiction, and it will appeal to readers young and old." — Booklist
