A Cure for Cancer (Jerry Cornelius, Bk 2)
A Cure for Cancer - Jerry Cornelius, Bk 2 Author:Michael Moorcock Features Jerry Cornelius, secret agent, superhero, adventurer, all things to all men (and women). A figure of almost complete anarchy, facing off against such ritual archenemies as the blubbery Bishop Beesley and the conspiratorial, sexually avid Karen von Krupp, with his mission being, "the elimination of time and death, and the restoration of ... more »identity".
Agent Jerry Cornelius' search for the time altering machine (he lost it in the Shift, which you get into by the Web) which can give his aunt-sister-niece-lover Catherine a few more days of life. Liveried coachmen exist side-by-side with vibraguns ... and cars that are also planes and subs; people (including Jerry), die only to reappear. And there are lots of U.S. "advisers" in Europe to protect it from being annexed by the Israelis (social satire).
