Like Clockwork A Complete Adventure Serial Mr Damien M Love 9781490591407 Books

I really liked this illustrated adventure "serial". Published in sections, Like Clockwork is the tale of a boy and his grandfather who love mechanical toys (ref Doctor Who "The Girl in the Fireplace"). It seems, though, that some of their toys are a bit more. Set in some vaguely Victorian past, there are menacing bad guys, carnivorous robots, flying knives, trains, rainstorms, slippery roofs and a variety of fun escapades. Like Clockwork is suitable for teens but fun for adults too.

I was given a free copy of this ebook through the LibraryThing Members Giveaway, with the request that I write an unbiased review. The monochrome illustrations are uncredited. In Episode 1, nearly 13-year-old Alex (who lives with his mother and her boyfriend) and his grandad [sic] with a cane (who in the illustrations looks very much like a too-tall Jon Pertwee) are on the run from someone Alex dubs the Tall Man (but who exactly IS he? Could he be? NO!), using voodoo toy robots, life-sized robots, two huge bald men, a little man, and a little moon-faced girl to chase down...a toy robot of theirs! The episode ends with their arrival in Paris (no cliff-hanger, that was just before...). Would I pay "NINETY-NINE BRITISH PENNIES" for this or the next episode? No. But let's see what comes next... This is definitely a penny-dreadful, with the Golem of Prague, and a tablet with the 27-Part-Name of God (but not really), on it, minus any present-day Jews or antisemitism. I was slow to be drawn in, but I enjoyed finally getting some answers in the 2nd chapter of the 5th section (XXI THE OLD SCHOOL IN THE DARK). By then I was finally hooked. I found the ending satisfying, as well as admitting of a Volume 2.Like Clockwork - A Complete Adventure Serial

This thrilling adventure story will delight fans of doctor who or those who enjoy mechanical fantasy like Leviathan for example. Set within a modern-day world that is invaded by the mysterious, this is the story of how a young boy's toy Robot turns out to be the catalyst for something momentous. His acquisition is no ordinary Robot for when Alex (the young boy) encounters an alien attack; he is plunged headlong into a frightening reality wherein nightmares come to life. Fleeing across Europe Alex and his grandfather are pursued by deadly assassins both human and mechanical, who ultimately stem back to that one toy. Brought to mind instantly was the Cyberman invasion on Earth or some such similar, wherein our planet (this date and year) is endangered by otherworldly forces that are both fantastical and macabre.

Like clockwork ~ a complete adventure serial brings past literary genre's back into fashion, complete with sketches and illustrations that are simply enchanting and which bring the author's vision to life. A serialized novel is something that I do hope will be put back onto our bookshelves, as the cliffhangers and intricately detailed plots sustain you for hours on end whilst leaving you sat in suspense. This six-part serial novel is a compelling, addictive read that grabs your attention almost instantly with fast-paced action and intense drama to loose yourself within. Damien Love's suggestion that a more exciting world exists a mere millimeter away from our own is sure to enchant readers with vivid imaginations, especially children and those who revel in adventures that can easily slot-into our busy lives.

The novel is structured in such a way so as to make it easier to read in smaller chunks or sections if you want to, like for example whilst I was on the train or when I had a spare half an hour. I felt like this explosive story could have continued on forever, as it is definitely one of those tales that remains with you always and which lingers in your mind for a long time afterwards. With memorable, interesting characters and the threat of danger lurking behind every turned page I was totally hooked on this book reminiscent of a comic strip unfolding before your very eyes. I was very impressed by this wonderful story that I would highly recommend, and which pleasantly exceeded and surpassed all expectations!
