Review: Clock King
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 11 22, 2011
Far into the future, the earth is a barren desert where few have survived.  Human kind has evolved into an emotionless, passionless group who are no longer able to procreate in the traditional manner.  Using DNA from ancient humans, Liaei is created to be the Queen of the Hourglass.  As Queen, once she reaches a fertile age she is taken to meet the Clock King, a man preserved and periodically reawaken to provide new genetic material for humankind.Overall, I found this book to be a bit odd.  Not bad, just odd.  I thought the book was well written and the characters well-developed.  The plot was not very appealing to me, but I think science-fiction fans would find the book to be fascinating.
