Kevin J. Anderson and Neil Peart's follow-up to their best-selling Clockwork Angels novel is titled Clockwork Lives and officially releases via ECW Press today. It is described as a steampunk Canterbury Tales and further explores some of the people and places from the Clockwork Angels universe. From the book's description:
... Marinda Peake is a woman with a quiet, perfect life in a small village; she long ago gave up on her dreams and ambitions to take care of her ailing father, an alchemist and an inventor. When he dies, he gives Marinda a mysterious inheritance: a blank book that she must fill with other people's stories-and ultimately her own. ...
The book contains illustrations from Clockwork Angels graphic novel artist Nick Robles, and Anderson posted previews of the first 10 illustrations to his blog a few days ago. Anderson has several signed, hard copy editions available for order via his Wordfire Press website here for $35, and the Rush Backstage Club has made a sample chapter (The Pickpocket's Tale) from the book available for free download here. You can order your copy of Clockwork Lives via Amazon at this location. The graphic novel version of Kevin J. Anderson and Neil Peart's Clockwork Angels was released in 6 volumes via BOOM! Studios between March and November of last year. Nick Robles handled all the artwork while Kevin J. Anderson wrote the scripts with some help from Neil Peart. Anderson made these scripts available via his Wordfire Press publishing company last December as Clockwork Angels: The Comic Scripts. Today the single-volume, complete graphic novel version of Clockwork Angels is officially released and can be ordered here. A signed, hard copy edition of this book can also be purchased via Anderson's Wordfire Press website here.
