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.

      Owen Hardy's life was filled with adventure, but he's done with that now, content to live out the rest of his days on the quiet world of Xanadu. His life revolves around caring for his beloved wife, regaling his grandchildren with stories of his youth, and preparing for the carnival's return. That changes when Marinda Peake arrives via airship to summon him for one last mission in the thrilling conclusion to the trilogy from Anderson and the late Peart (starting with the novelization of Rush's album Clockwork Angels, 2012). The Watchmaker presides over the universe, ensuring stability and peace, but he knows the threads of time are bare. Their life source is running out, and it can only be replenished by going to the source at the ends of the earth, Ultima Thule. Owen, along with his eager grandson and a spunky pilot, embarks on the journey of a lifetime. Marinda herself is dispatched to chronicle the Watchmaker's life--but what she finds leads to more questions than answers. Readers will enjoy the saga's surprising end as well as its championing of the freedom of choice.
