Clockwork Destiny

De: Kevin J. Anderson, Neil Peart

Narrado por: Kevin J. Anderson

The final volume in the New York Times–bestselling, award-winning steampunk trilogy by Kevin J. Anderson and legendary Rush drummer Neil Peart

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.

an amazing end to an amazing story

beautifully written the conclusion of the trilogy was fantastic with the introduction of other rush works made this a fitting end to an amazing story

Clockwork Destiny (audiobook)

I just completed listening to Clockwork Destiny. KJA did a remarkable job with the story, I’m sure Neil is pleased. Amazing “weaving in” of so many lyrical snippets from the first album through Clockwork Angels.

Tying the trilogy together

Great storytelling and ending tied the story together, just hate that it ended! I plan to live it all again!!!

I wish that I could live it all again!

I love this series, so sad to see it end. Kevin and Neil did a great job keeping characters consistent and the storyline interesting. very happy Kevin did the narration on this. bittersweet to be done with this story.

An emotional finish to the KJA/NP Trilogy

What is the measure of a life?

If you have been along for this ride, then it is a no-brainer to read this novel. If you are a Rush fan, it will feel as if it is written for you. This story is a compliment to the previous two entries, and it feels like a natural ending to the series.

KJAs afterward is emotional. There is a lot of richness to the blending of speculative fiction and progressive rock music. I don't think it has ever done quite as effectively. KJA and NP blend their distinct storytelling methods into a work that represents a lasting legacy for both.

Go back and listen to the Clockwork Angels album after you finish this novel. Pretty fascinating stuff. Thank you Neil.
