Clockwork Angels is the 19th full length studio album by Canadian rock band Rush. The album was recorded at Blackbird Studio in Nashville, Tennessee and Revolution Recording in Toronto, Ontario, Canada and was released on June 12, 2012.

On February 9, 2012, science fiction novelist Kevin J. Anderson, a long time friend of Neil Peart, announced that he would be writing a novelization of Clockwork Angels. He also revealed information about the album's concept
In a young man's quest to follow his dreams, he is caught between the grandiose forces of order and chaos. He travels across a lavish and colorful world of steampunk and alchemy, with lost cities, pirates, anarchists, exotic carnivals, and a rigid Watchmaker who imposes precision on every aspect of daily life.

For anyone who hasn't heard, yes, I am a gigantic Rush fan
This one seems like it might appeal to the FI crowd more than somewhat

Thanks for sharing!

I'll go see it!

Knew about the album. Didn't know about the book. Thanks, Chris!

WOW! That sounds hauntingly familiar.................

No really I love me some Rush and by virtue of that this novel shall trump whatever is next in line on my “to read” list at the time.

This album is fantastic, I particularly dig the title track, BU2B, carnies and The Garden (Dat solo!) Geddy's bass playing is amazing!!
