The War Amongst the Angels

An author of great and original vision, Michael Moorcock brings us a stunning tale of life and love, destiny and choice, history, myth and many realities in this, his most radiant work to date. The winner of multiple literary awards, including the World Fantasy Award, the Nebula Award, The Guardian Fiction Prize and the John W. Campbell Award, Moorcock has been praised as "a brilliant talent" (New Statesman) and "a first-rate novelist and inventive satirist" (New York Newsday). His critically acclaimed masterpiece, Mother London, was short-listed for both the Whitbread and Booker Prizes.Now, with "The Amongst The Angles", Moorcock carries the reader across the thresholds viewed from afar in Blood and Fabulous Harbors — the first two volumes of a three-book set — and reveals the mighty destinies, exemplary loves and the true and secret histories of his most intriguing characters: Col. Sam Oakenhurst, Colinda Dovero, Jack Karaquazian and the incomparable Rose von Bek. The lives of these four friends are intertwined on many planes — in our conventional world, and in the special, infinitely wondrous Second Ether, a place where time has no bounds and life is a river of endless reinvention.
