When the stars in the sky mysteriously begin to go dark a young girl is recruited to undertake a desperate race against time, one in which the fate of her family, her planet and all light and life in the universe are at stake. The Celestial Clockwork is an adventure that illustrates the manifold nature of reality. It is a fable of choice and chance, of destinies embraced, and of how courage can thwart the tyranny of fate. For kids it's a new way to discover the universe. For adults it might be a gnostic allegory.
