À propos de cet audio

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.

Fantasy Travel

This book draws you in to the travels of the characters. Each character is meticulously built and woven into the fabric of the story. Well done.

Story never really clicked for me. Sorry.

While I appreciate getting to listen to Neil's soothing voice for a few hours. The story is kind of a bland, thinly veiled libertarian fairy tale, obviously written for younger readers. Pretty tough to finish a story that I sadly failed to really connect with.

A Steampunk Hero's Journey for Rush Fans

As the centre of rock band Rush's final studio album, Clockwork Angels is a fantasy story that offers something for readers of both young adult age and older. This is a classic tale of the Hero's Journey, as a young person is driven out of their comfortable setting into wonderous lands and on expeditions of grandeur, to then be humbled and wisened, returning better than before to where they began. The main story is book-ended by commentary from the protagonist, then in his old age, which offers the young an insight in what it's like to look back on the time of opportunity they currently occupy, and the older to experience the excitement of a youthful adventure story that is ultimately anchored in the wisened experience they now possess.

Finally, since this review is written after the passing of Neil Peart, it is a delight to hear this book narrated by him. His performance is generally basic, but given how invested he was in crafting the story and its universe with author Kevin J. Anderson, it is now a special thing to have his voice captured in this performance of some of his finest artistic work.
