The Steel Tsar: Michael Moorcock

Book III of The Adventures of Oswald Bastable. Chrononaut Bastable, Member of the League of Temporal Adventurers, has crossed and re-crossed many different time streams. On this occasion, he is travelling backwards in time from a shell-shocked Singapore to a Tsarist Empire seething with conflict and preyed on by motley bands of rogues and adventurers. Here he meets up with Miss Una Persson, and together they change the course of a history whose mythical deeds go beyond the boundaries of everyday imagination and glitter in the exuberant land of the eternal present.
