Neil Peart's travel memoir of thoughts, observations, and experiences as he cycles through West Africa reveals the subtle, yet powerful writing style that has made him one of rock's greatest lyricists. As he describes his extraordinary journey and his experiences - from the pains of dysentery, to a confrontation with an armed soldier, to navigating dirt roads off the beaten path - he reveals his own emotional landscape, and along the way, the different...

"For thirty years, drummer, author, and songwriter Neil Peart had wanted to write a book about 'the biggest journey of all in my restless existence: the life of a touring musician.' Finally, the right time, and the right tour . . ."--Page 2 of cover.

Neil Peart, Canadian musician and author, presents twenty-two personal stories from almost four years of his life while riding his motor cycle along the back roads of North America, Europe, and South America on concert tours.

35 concerts. 17,000 motorcycle miles. Three months. One lifetime. In May 2015, the veteran Canadian rock trio Rush embarked on their 40th anniversary tour, R40. For the band and their fans, R40 was a celebration and, perhaps, a farewell. But for Neil Peart, each tour is more than just a string of concerts, it's an opportunity to explore backroads near and far on his BMW motorcycle. So if this was to be the last tour and the last great adventure, he...

After the death of his only daughter, Selena, and his wife, Jackie, musician Neil Peart turned into a ghost, a man without motivation, hope or faith.

"Desde a infância, a música tem o poder de me levar para longe, e esta é uma canção sobre alguns dos lugares em que estive." As lembranças, a imaginação, o reino da pura sensação abstrata para onde a música leva são o combustível das reflexões de Neil Peart nesta viagem de carro de Los Angeles até o parque nacional Big Bend. As associações emocionais e as histórias por trás de cada álbum que toca nestes quase dois mil quilmetros...

A follow-up to "Clockwork Angels" presents the steampunk-meets-"Canterbury Tales" adventures of Marinda Peake, who interits from her alchemist father a blank book that she must fill with other people's stories.

A novel based on the album "Clockwork Angels" by the rock band Rush follows a young man on a quest through a world of lost cities, pirates, anarchists, and a Watchmaker who imposes precision on all aspects of daily life.

A remarkable collaboration that is unprecedented in its scope and realization, this exquisitely wrought novel represents an artistic project between the bestselling science fiction author, Kevin J. Anderson, and the multiplatinum rock band Rush. The newest album by Rush, Clockwork Angels, sets forth a story in Neil Peart's lyrics that has been, expanded by him and Anderson into this epic novel. In a young man's quest to follow his dreams, he is, caught...
