Some lives can be summed up inside a phrase or two. Additional lives are epics. In Clockwork Angels, #1 bestselling writer Kevin J. Anderson and famous Hurry drummer and lyricist Neil Peart produced a fabulous, ambitious steampunk world in a book to accompany the smash Hurry concept album of the same name. It had been an environment of airships and alchemy, clockwork carnivals, pirates, lost towns, a rigid Watchmaker who controlled every aspect of lifestyle, and his nemesis, the ruthless and violent Anarchist who about Clockwork Lives wanted to destroy everything. Anderson and Peart possess returned to their colourful creation to explore the areas and the personas that still have a hang on their imagination. Marinda Peake is normally a woman having a noiseless, perfect life in a small village; she long ago gave up on her dreams and ambitions to take care of her ailing dad, an alchemist and an inventor. When he dies, he provides Marinda a mysterious inheritance: a blank book that she must fill with other people’s tales – and eventually her personal. Clockwork Lives can be a steampunk Canterbury Tales, plus much more, as Marinda strives to change her lifestyle from only ‘sentence or two’ to a true epic.
