Disturbing Clockwork - E-book - ePub

Not so long ago, on a planet not too far away, a quirky inventor washes up on a desert island and discovers devices that defy belief. They appear to be clockwork automatons, but he has never seen their like, and, brilliant as he is, he cannot imagine how they can do the things they do - which is pretty much anything asked of them. Such amazing technology! Where did they come from? How do they work? Benkin, a lifelong student of natural philosophy, sees them as a key to unlock the secrets of science and the wonders of the universe.
Snyde, a dangerous fugitive from the king's justice, sees them as a means to power.
