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.

Book one awakened the great dragon, and set the kingdoms at each other’s throats. In book two, Vengewar, bitter rivalry and blood feud will be the downfall of the human kingdoms.

The first volume of Abrams ComicArts’ faithful graphic-novel adaptations of Dune Messiah, part of the groundbreaking science-fiction series by Frank Herbert—timed to the release of the movie In this epic second act of Frank Herbert’s classic Dune saga, the story of Paul Atreides—better known, and feared, as Muad’Dib—continues. As emperor of the known universe, he wields more power than any one man was meant to hold. Worshipped as a religious icon by the fanatical Fremen, Atreides faces the enmity of the political houses he displaced upon assuming the throne—and a conspiracy unfolding within his own sphere of influence. And even as House Atreides begins to crumble under the machinations of his enemies, the true threat to Paul comes to his lover, Chani, and the unborn heir to his family’s dynasty . . . This fourth volume of Abrams ComicArts’ faithful adaptations by Brian Herbert, son of Frank Herbert, and New York Times bestselling author Kevin J. Anderson follows Atreides’s prophetic journey and ascent to power. Illustrated by Michael Shelfer, this spectacular blend of adventure and spirituality, environmentalism, and politics is a groundbreaking look into our universe and is transformed by the graphic novel format into a powerful, fantastical tale for a new generation of readers. Like Dune: The Graphic Novel Books 1-3, Dune Messiah again features a spectacular painted cover by artist Bill Sienkiewicz.
