Here Moorcock creates a character with eighteen different lives. Incarnations of Karl Glogauer appear in Shanghai, Kenya, Budapest, New Youk City, and South Africa, spanning the globe and traveling through history in a scathing indictment of the human condition. Karl is sometimes victim, sometimes villain, but always enmeshed in a political crisis that defies easy moral solution.
By the author of the Elric of Melnibone sword and sorcery classic series.
