About the Author:
Michael Moorcock (1939-)
Michael Moorcock is one of the most important figures in British SF and Fantasy literature. The author of many literary novels and stories in practically every genre, his novels have won and been shortlisted for numerous awards including the Hugo, Nebula, World Fantasy, Whitbread and Guardian Fiction Prize. In 1999, he was given the World Fantasy Life Achievement Award; in 2001, he was inducted into the SF Hall of Fame; and in 2007, he was named a SFWA Grandmaster. Michael Moorcock is also a musician who has performed since the seventies with his own band, the Deep Fix; and, as a member of the prog rock band, Hawkwind, won a gold disc. His tenure as editor of New Worlds magazine in the sixties and seventies is seen as the high watermark of SF editorship in the UK, and was crucial in the development of the SF New Wave. Michael Moorcock's literary creations include Hawkmoon, Corum, Von Bek, Jerry Cornelius and, of course, his most famous character, Elric. He has been compared to, among others, Balzac, Dumas, Dickens, James Joyce, Ian Fleming, J.R.R. Tolkien and Robert E. Howard. Although born in London, he now splits his time between homes in Texas and Paris.

Book Description Paperback: 7" x 4¼". Condition: Good: Moderate signs of wear. Cover Art: Gustave Moreau (illustrator). 1978 Edition. © 1978: A stand-alone novel by Michael Moorcock. 1st printing of 1978 edition:- Synopsis: Gloriana rules an Albion whose empire embraces America and most of Asia. A new Golden Age of peace, enlightenment and prosperity has dawned, in dazzling contrast with the brutal austerity Albion endured under the iron hand of Gloriana's father, King Hern. Gloriana is Albion, and Albion is Gloriana; if one falls, so will the other. Much depends on Montfallcon, Gloriana's Chancellor, and his network of spies and assassins - in particular cold-hearted Captain Quire, seducer of virtue and murderer of innocence. When the two fall out and Arabia conceives a plan to ruin Gloriana, a huge intrigue is hatched, threatening to destroy Albion, the Empire and the Golden Age itself, in a love affair between the Queen of Virtue and the King of Vice:- Review(s): "Spellbinding. The image of Gloriana's vast maze of a palace is an original and genuine invention" - Sunday Times / "Outstandingly written. A remarkable book, teeming with extraordinary life and complexity" - Spectator:- (original cost £1.25). Seller Inventory # 12.011.00458
