The Graphic Novel (Preview) by Kevin J. Anderson and Neil Peart June 2018 |
Marinda Peake is a woman with a quiet, perfect life in a small village; she long ago gave up on her dreams and ambitions in order to take care of her ailing father, an alchemist and inventor. When he dies, he gives Marinda a mysterious gift: a blank book that she must fill with other people's stories — and ultimately her own.
Clockwork Lives is a steampunk Canterbury Tales that follows Marinda as she strives to change her life from a "mere sentence or two" to a true epic.
Based on the world they previously introduced in Clockwork Angels, Kevin J. Anderson and Neil Peart take the graphic novel to new heights with this adaptation of the best-selling book Clockwork Lives.
Kevin J. Anderson is the critically acclaimed science fiction author of more than 140 novels, 56 of which have been national or international bestsellers. He is also well known for his numerous novels in the Dune universe with Brian Herbert, as well as many Star Wars, X-Files, Star Trek, Batman, and Superman novels. He has won or been nominated for the highest awards in the field, including the Hugo, the Nebula, and the Bram Stoker.
Neil Peart is the drummer and lyricist for the legendary rock band Rush, and is the author of Ghost Rider, Roadshow, The Masked Rider, Far and Away, Far and Near, and Traveling Music. With Anderson, he coauthored the best-selling, award-winning novel Clockwork Angels, based on the Rush concept album of the same name, as well as the original novel of Clockwork Lives.
Hugh Syme is a Canadian Juno Award—winning graphic artist who is best known for his artwork and cover concepts for rock and metal bands. He is also a musician and has appeared in some Rush songs as a keyboard player.
