Summary
Audie Award Finalist, Package Design, 2014
I can’t stop thinking big....
International best-selling author Kevin J. Anderson teams up with Rush lyricist and drummer Neil Peart to expand the story set out in Clockwork Angels, the 20th 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 available now at rush.com.

Making memories
Huge Rush fan so couldn't pass up the opportunity to hear the story told by one of its architects - the sorely missed Neil Peart.
I haven't read the paper copy but have listened to the associated album (Clockwork Angels) many times so was very happy for Mr Peart to interpret characters as he sees them on my behalf.
I enjoyed the story & the sense of adventure it engenders. Only slight criticism is that it is slightly formulaic in parts but that doesn't detract from the overall enjoyment.
My review title is a Rush reference but also applies here as I have new happy memories from this sonic expert - many thanks Kevin & Neil (RIP).

Words can't describe...
Words can't describe how important this work is, specially after the passing of our so missed Professor. R.I.P. Neil Peart.

Cracking book
A great story from two great people. Caught my imagination from the get-go and I found it hard to stop listening! An added bonus for Rush fans, many lyrics from their past songs are included in the story.
This has become a favourite that I will listen to many times.

A pure delight.
An enchanting tale, well read. Mr Peart has an easy and pleasant to listen to voice. With just enough humour to tickle the funny bone, enough adventure to keep you listening and enough intrigue to keep you glued. Lyrics and song titles from the Rush anthology are liberally scattered throughout the story, but with a subtlety that doesn’t detract from the narrative.
A well crafted novel that is a pure delight to listen to.

Great Listen By The Pool!
Been a fan of Neal Peart for a long time and i like his style of writing and now he's teamed up with Kevin Anderson it could only be a good thing; and so it proved. Thoroughly enjoyed the escapism while listening by the pool with a cold one. Pearts imagination has always been prevalent with the writing for Rush and along with Anderson they have put together a great little novel that flows and interlinks smoothly. really enjoyed and am looking forward to the next collaboration between these two.

Clockwork Brilliance
An amazing story to flesh out the Rush album of the same name.
Lovingly read by our Professor Neil Peart.
