So, because of that, I was incredibly excited to give this one a listen. Even though I gave up on that show, I always said I'd follow the cast and this was apparently my first stop. I actually had no interest in this book at all, but I enjoyed both David Giuntoli and Claire Coffee in "Grimm", which I watched-until it became utterly unwatchable.
Secondly, I listened to this book because of the narrators. I return over half the novels I get from Audible because I don't like the narrators enough to actually listen to them. First, I am incredibly critical when it comes to the narrators of audio novels. The Clockwork Dynasty is a riveting breakout novel.īefore I start getting into my thoughts, I need to make 2 things clear. Richly drawn and heart pounding, Wilson's novel expertly draws on his robotics and science background, combining exquisite characters with breathtaking technology - and unmatched action. As June learns more about these beings, she is quickly drawn into a fierce battle that has spanned the centuries and will ultimately determine the survival or extermination of this ancient race. It seamlessly interweaves past and present, exploring a race of beings that live by different principles from humans but ultimately value loyalty. Their struggle to serve in the court of the czar while blending in and to survive amid those who fear and wish to annihilate them will take Peter and Elena across Russia, Europe, and, ultimately, the centuries, to the modern day. Russia, 1725: Peter and Elena, two humanlike mechanical beings, are brought to life under the watchful guise of Peter the Great. Ingeniously hidden inside the ancient doll is a lost message addressed to the court of Peter the Great, czar of Russia. The mechanical doll, June believes, is proof of a living race of automatons that walk undetected among us to this day. In the rugged landscape of Eastern Oregon, a young scientist named June uncovers an exquisite artifact - a 300-year-old mechanical doll whose existence seems to validate her obsession with a harrowing story she was told by her grandfather many years earlier. An epic, ingenious new thriller from the New York Times best-selling author of Robopocalypse, The Clockwork Dynasty weaves a riveting path through history and a race of humanlike machines that have been hiding among us for untold centuries.
