A short Publishers Weekly review of the book here:
God of Clocks Alan Campbell. Bantam Spectra, $25 (384p) ISBN 978-0-553-38418-5
In the dramatic third and almost certainly concluding volume of Campbell's Deepgate Codex (after 2008's Iron Angel), an apocalyptic battle between warring gods puts the very existence of humankind in jeopardy as gore-splattered battlefields spill over from the realm of mortals and the depths of Hell to the labyrinth of Time itself. Featuring an ensemble cast of richly described characters, including a soul-eating giant and an angel trapped inside a 400-foot-tall golem, the numerous story lines eventually converge in a finale involving a multiverse of time paradoxes and mind-bending plot twists. Campbell's experience in video game design is evident in the relentless pacing and highly imaginative settings as well as his meticulous attention to detail in the many fight sequences. Readers will thrill to the hellishly dark imagery and labyrinthine plot lines.

What more could you ask for. That is a great description of what you do and what to expect. I can't wait.
oh fuck, I hate reading reviews and seeing stuff i don't want to see. now i know mina keeps basilis. I hate when i don't get to enjoy the surprise.
Whoops. I forgot about that. Sorry.
Why did this come out in America first? I believe the UK release date has been pushed back. Now there are three books that come out in June that I want!
It was just the way the publishing schedules worked out.
I'm not going to complain, I'm in the U.S. and got this 2 weeks ago. I just wrapped it up today and what a great ride it was.
I had wandered across Scar Night completely by accident and am glad I did. These books are all now at the top of my lists, they were fantastic and will be recommended strongly.
Oh yes, long live John Anchor!
