Dans Clockwork Angels et Clockwork Lives, les lecteurs ont rencontré le jeune héros optimiste Owen Hardy, ainsi que l’aventurière plus réticente Marinda Peake, dans un monde étonnant de dirigeables et d’alchimie, de carnavals fantastiques et de cités perdues. Owen Hardy, retraité et satisfait de sa vie tranquille et parfaite avec la belle Francesca, est entraîné dans une dernière aventure avec son petit-fils Alain. Cette dernière mission de l’Horloger les mènera jusqu’aux terres gelées d’Ultima Thule et aux confins de la Terre. Marinda Peake doit entreprendre sa propre mission, non seulement pour compiler l’histoire vraie du mystérieux Horloger, mais aussi pour arrêter un nouveau groupe d’anarchistes mortels.
La trilogie Clockwork est basée sur l’histoire et les paroles du dernier album des titans de la musique Rush. Anderson et Peart ont développé le monde, les histoires et les personnages. Anderson et Peart ont développé le dernier roman de la trilogie au cours des dernières années de la vie de Peart. Plus d’un an après le décès de ce dernier, Anderson est revenu à ce projet inachevé, avec le soutien total de la femme de Peart, pour amener les histoires d’Owen et de Marinda à une conclusion satisfaisante et émouvante.

In Clockwork Angels and Clockwork Lives, readers met the optimistic young hero Owen Hardy, as well as the more reluctant adventurer Marinda Peake, in an amazing world of airships and alchemy, fantastic carnivals and lost cities. Now Owen Hardy, retired and content in his quiet, perfect life with the beautiful Francesca, is pulled into one last adventure with his eager grandson Alain. This final mission for the Watchmaker will take them up to the frozen lands of Ultima Thule and the ends of the Earth. Marinda Peake must undertake a mission of her own, not only to compile the true life story of the mysterious Watchmaker, but also to stop a deadly new group of anarchists.

The Clockwork trilogy is based on the story and lyrics from the last album of musical titans Rush, with Anderson and Peart expanding the world, stories, and characters. The two developed the final novel in the trilogy in the last years of Peart’s life, and more than a year after his passing, Anderson returned to that unfinished project, with the full support of Peart’s wife, bringing Owen and Marinda’s stories to a satisfying and stirring conclusion.

Reviews

“Readers will enjoy the saga’s surprising end as well as its championing of the freedom of choice.” — Booklist

“Anderson has delivered an extraordinary, heartfelt farewell, both to the world of the Watchmaker and to Peart. Clockwork Destiny explodes with longing, love and adventure to the far reaches of the world … Kevin J. Anderson should be very proud of this volume. It is a beautiful adventure. Heartbreaking and uplifting, it is a fitting goodbye to a wonderful world explored over the course of an entertaining and thoughtful trilogy. That it also doubles as an honest and emotional farewell to a friend and amazing wordsmith in his own right enriches the result to the status of sublime perfection.” — BookReporter
