About this audiobook
What they don't tell you is that you'll still be conscious.
The lights of Hollowmere never go out. The great clocktower never stops ticking. But what powers the perfect city is far more sinister than anyone dares to admit.
In the steampunk metropolis of Hollowmere, progress demands sacrifice. The poor are offered a deal: sign their names, surrender their bodies to the Sovereign's Cradle, and be "transcended" into pure energy. The Church of the Mechanismus promises eternal purpose. The doctors promise it's painless. Your family receives wealth beyond imagining.
What they don't tell you is that you'll still be conscious.
A dark steampunk tale of body horror, corporate theocracy, and one man's fight to give voice to the silenced, The Hollow Clock asks: How far would you go to save people the world has already forgotten?
