The Age of Chaos

Michael Moorcock is one of Britain's greatest writers and possibly the most consistently experimental author in the world of fantasy literature. In The Age of Chaos, author Jeff Gardiner goes behind the pages to explore Moorcock's life and work: from his early career as an editor for New Worlds; his influence on speculative fiction; the creation of the Eternal Champion embodied by Elric, Corum, Hawkmoon, Ereköse and Von Bek; Jerry Cornelius, the spoof messiah of swinging London; the comic fantasy of The Dancers at the End of Time; Gloriana; the crazed memoirs of Colonel Pyat; the fantastic realism of Mother London and its sequel, King of the City; to Moorcock's more recent work including Silverheart and The Dreamthief's Daughter.

With an introduction by Moorcock himself, this entertaining and accessible paperback book celebrates the life and achievements of one of fantasy's leading figures. Essential for exploring the Multiverse further and for glimpsing some of the inspiration behind Moorcock's mercurial mind.
