Review:
"[There are] those of us who have buttonholed strangers on the Underground and raved about Moorcock's masterpieces Byzantium Endures and The Laughter of Carthage" (Sunday Telegraph)
"This is a rich, ambitious and erudite book" (Guardian)
"His is the grand, messy flux itself, in all its heroic vulgarity, its unquenchable optimism, its enthusiasm for the inexhaustible variousness of things. Posterity will certainly give him that due place in English literature" (Angela Carter Guardian)

Once in 'Tsargrad' he finds himself caught up in the convolutions of Turkish revolutionary politics and when he again escapes with his new love, a teenage Roumanian whore - it is to find himself amongst te prototype fascists of Rome.' (Quote from inside front flap of wrapper blurb). ***'This is a rich, ambitious and erudite book. If one purpose of fiction is to lead us into different worlds and, as Virginia Woolf says, to make of them "some kind of whole", then Michael Moorcock succeeds brilliantly.'
