Moorcock's Multiverse

Description

Featuring some of Moorcock's earliest works, MOORCOCK'S MULTIVERSE contains the seeds of the overarching concepts that tie all of his varied worlds together. Here, in The Sundered Worlds, The Fireclown and The Twilight Man, the multiverse is introduced and various aspects of the eternal champion, Moorcock's great and enduring creation, are explored. In The Fireclown, a totalitarian regime is enraged by the appearance of the fireclown, a man from the lower levels of the great city whose pyroclastic displays threaten to enflame the subdued population. In The Sundered Worlds, we are introduced to the concept of the multiverse, as Count Renark von Bek seeks to save the human race from the collapse of the universe itself. And in The Twilight Man, the last man born on earth dares to leave for the stars, in search of a cure for the malaise inflicting the remaining members of mankind.

Born in London in 1939, Michael Moorcock is the legendary editor of the influential New Worlds magazine and a prolific and award-winning writer with more than 80 works of fiction and non-fiction to his name. He is the creator of Elric, Hawkmoon, Jerry Cornelius and Colonel Pyat, amongst many other memorable characters.
