From the New York Times bestselling author of Robopocalypse comes an epic new thriller about a race of ageless automatons who have been hiding among us for untold centuries.
In the depths of the Kremlin in 1725, the tsar s loyal mechanician brings to life two astonishingly humanlike mechanical beings. Peter and Elena are a brother and sister possessed with uncanny power and destined to fight an ancient war.
When June Stefanov, a young anthropologist specializing in ancient technology, uncovers a terrible secret concealed in the workings of a three-hundred-year-old mechanical doll, she finds herself in the middle of the hidden war that has raged for centuries. As June plunges deeper into their world, her choices will ultimately determine their fate.
The Clockwork Dynasty interweaves past and present, exploring a race of beings designed to live by ironclad pr inciples, yet constantly searching for meaning. Richly-imagined and heart-pounding, Daniel H. Wilson s novel combines exquisitely drawn characters with visionary technology and riveting action.
