CLOCKWORK ANGELS
ANDERSON, KEVIN J.
Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012
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. The newest album by Rush, Clockwork Angels, sets forth a story in Neil Peart’s
lyrics that has been expanded by him 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.

THE CLOCKWORK SKY VOLUME ONE
ROSCA, MADELEINE
Erasmus Croach’s miraculous factory, Ember, has flooded London with steampowered automatons. The already
suffering working class take to the streets to protest the jobs lost to these machines, and to quell the riot, Captain
Thorn of Scotland Yard calls in Ember’s latest and greatest creation, the automatic police boy, Sky! Meanwhile,
Sally Peppers, Croach’s headstrong and brilliant niece, dreams of a life beyond manners and marriageability.
When she escapes her overbearing governess on a motorized velocipede and joins a no-rules road rally through
the slums, Croach sends Sky to bring her back, preferably alive. Together, the impulsive Sally and the naive Sky
crash headlong into a mystery involving rogue automatons prowling the sewers, children disappearing without a
trace, and a dark secret so big it could overturn all of London. But the biggest mystery of all is why Sky is the first
robot who can dream....
