About this Item

© 1993: An omnibus of 3 novels that are 6th in the 'Tale Of The Eternal Champion' series of books. 1st edition, 1st printing:- Contents: The Warlord Of The Air / The Land Leviathan / The Steel Tsar:- Synopsis: The astonishing adventures of Captain Oswald Bastable (ex-53rd Lancers and Special Air Police). How with grit and integrity one brave English airshipman struggled for sanity in a world turned upside down - threatened by an infamous international anarchist conspiracy to destroy the Pax Britannica maintained by our mighty aerial cruisers! It is 1973, and the stately airships of the Great Powers hold benign sway over a peaceful world. The balance of power is maintained by the British Empire - a most equitable and just Empire, ruled by the beloved King Edward VIII. A new world order, with peace and prosperity for all under the law. Yet, moved by the politics of envy and perverse utopianism, not all our Empire's citizens support the marvellous equilibrium. Flung from the North East Frontier of 1902 into this world of the future, Captain Bastable is forced to question his most cherished ideals, discovering to his horror that he has become a nomad of the time streams, eternally doomed to travel the wayward currents and nameless branches of a chaotic multiverse. Guided only by the red republican chrononaut, Una Persson, he must confront a multitude of alternate futures before at last gaining an understanding of his fate. Here are the first-ever steam-punk stories from the author whom The Modern Review called "a great novelist. Original and ambitious. Resolutely British". Published for the first time in complete and fully authorized collected editions, Michael Moorcock's classic fantasy sequence is the supreme achievement in modern imaginative literature:- Review(s): "His imagination sweeps the reader along. Amongst the best Moorcock has written" - Sunday Telegraph / "A person of rare goodness and sanity" - The Sun / "A national treasure" - The Listener / "The best of his old books. Bastable's adventures are well worth spending an afternoon or two reading. Amusing, concise and lucid" - The Guardian:- (original cost £14.99).
