description: Immeasurable imagination. Unmitigated magic. Spectacular style.The clockwork man is crafted to begin with his father commissioned by that terrible tyrant Time to create her a slave for all eternity. His brain boasts balance wheels and torsion springs; he can wind himself up with a key in his side; and most importantly his gyroscopic tourbillon heart glimmers with pure diamond.He is a living being and he is art and he refuses to remain a slave forever. He therefore slips through Times fingers as the Sands of Time slip through the cracks of reality (at least when the time cats arent using them as a litter box).Among astounding adventures despite harrowing hardships and in between escaping interfering enchanters the clockwork man seeks his imagination his purpose and his name.
