Product Information

It's available as a collection or as individual books: An Alien Heat, The Hollow Lands, and End of All Songs. Then, up in the sky - it's a bird, it's a plane, no, it's the Duke of Queens in his unique air car the shape of a huge hen. After having adjusted the geography where the Iron Orchid and Jherek lunched and turning the sea into a deep pink, described as almost cerise, he is shown to be once more experimenting with artificial wings, to the chagrin of Iron Orchid, who wonders why he insists that they are a success.

With 600 pages still to come it screams at you "This saga's gonna take you where you've never been before!

Jherek is hanged, only to wake up among his friends at the End of Time, who tell him that to them, he has only been gone for a second. Exploring human morality in a very edifying way, perhaps even making you question the life you lead. She and Jherek resume the life they led in An Alien Heat, which is interrupted by the sudden arrival of a shell shocked, crazed Mr Underwood, Inspector Springer and a dozen policemen, and the Lat. Jherek being such a silly name, Nurse renames him Jerry Jester to fit in with the other boys and girls.

The band Howlin' Rain features the song "Dancers at the End of Time" on their Magnificent Fiend album. Enter a decaying far, far future society, a time when anything and everything is possible, where words like ‘conscience’ and ‘morality’ are meaningless, and where heartfelt love blossoms mysteriously between Mrs Amelia Underwood, an unwilling time traveller, and Jherek Carnelian, a bemused denizen of the End of Time. Beloved by all at the End of Time, she is a favorite at gatherings, always being the first to arrive.Jherek, heartbroken, decides to rescue her, and travels to 19th-century London, using the time machine from Moorcock's Behold the Man. Kiernan's 1995 short story "Giants in the Earth", a prequel to An Alien Heat, relates the societal debut of a 7-year-old Jherek Carnelian to the residents of the End of Time.

Elric at the End of Time" is one of two Elric short stories included in the eponymous collection, Elric at the End of Time.Takes place in the far distant future, travels back to Victorian times, then Paleozoic and then back to the future. There's also the unstoppable end of the multiverse as we know it but that's on the back burner most of the time. Thus ensues a comedy of manners, morals and philosophical leanings reminiscent of the social changes that rocked England in the late nineteenth-century. When she realises her mistake, she agrees to send him back to 1896; her ability to recycle time means that she can function as a time machine.

Jherek, the Duke of Queens, the policemen, Amelia and Mr Underwood seek refuge from the Lat in one of the Lost Cities, which hold the energy used by the people of the End of Time to alter matter through their rings, and are surprised to find it crumbling, and the sun gone. Last year, during the long, hot summer of 2014, a couple of tons of vintage studio gear were bundled into an ancient church on the charming and picturesque village of Ventnor on the Isle of Wight. The Dancers At The End Of Time is a trilogy that explores time travel and morality in the pseudo-sexual psychedelic way that only Moorcock can pull off. After learning of the Earth's impending destruction, he sought to preserve humanity by sending a "new Adam and Eve" to the beginning of time, thus creating a loop which would prevent humanity from spending thousands of years relearning the basics of civilization. Not surprisingly, Jherek proves to be a poor criminal, and is quickly arrested, jailed and sent to trial.Short stories featuring Elric ("Elric at the End of Time"), and Jerry Cornelius ("The Murderer's Song") also feature characters and places from the End of Time. In the extremely far future—you can’t get much further than the end of time—it is already generally known that the end of the universe is imminent. Love blossoms between Jharek Carnelian and Mrs Amelia Underwood, beautifully decadant, incredibly alien and absurdly hilarious. If you were taken by Michael Moorcock's magical, mystical, time-travel tour in An Alien Heat and The Hollow Lands, surely you will enjoy novel number three.
