This omnibus volume contains: An Alien Heat: Enter a decaying far, far future society, a time when anything and everything is possible, where words like 'conscience' and 'morality' are meaningless, and where heartfelt love blossoms mysteriously between Mrs Amelia Underwood, an unwilling time traveler, and Jherek Carnelian, a bemused denizen of the End of Time. The Hollow Lands: Jherek Carnelian, one of the small population of hedonistic immortals remaining on earth at the end of time, is still obsessively in love with Mrs. Amelia Underwood, a reluctant time-traveler from Victorian England. After narrowly escaping death in nineteenth-century London, Jherek again is separated from his love by several millenniums. And so he begins a new, headlong campaign - seesawing through space and time regardless of risk or consequence - to reunite himself with Mrs. Underwood. The End Of All Songs: For the hedonistic immortals who dwell at the End of Time, the return of Jherek Carnelian with Mrs. Amelia Underwood - a reluctant time-traveler from Victorian England - is cause for jubilant celebration. Led by Jherek's mother, the Iron Orchid, the immortals set off on a mad spree of spectacular festivities. And in no time at all, Amelia, with her radiant beauty and quaintly platonic way of looking at things (especially Jherek), becomes the toast of the End of Time. But as the pandemonium progresses, some delicious and long-held mysteries are revealed and some distressing omens appear on the horizon. Due to circumstances beyond their control, immortality - at least as far as the immortals know it - will never be the same again. Cover art by Mark Reeve. -

The drifting banks of early fog shrouded the cluttered townscape of jagged spires, twisting alleys and ant-heap tenements. As Jephraim sat by the river bank, studying his misshapen body, the Golden Barge emerged from the glowing mist, burning brightly with inner light, to fade again, unexplained and silent. And Jephraim knew he had to follow, alone, on a journey deep into the fabled lands of war, famine and enchantment. He must reach and board the Golden Barge. He will meet strange and unique characters who will effect changes in him; yet he still yearns to leave humanity behind and follow, ever onwards...and his pursuit of his dream together with his shunning of mankind will come at a cost... This is Moorcock's first novel, written when he was 18 and regarded as the first in the Eternal Champion sequence.

Book II of The Dancers at the End of Time. At the world's end, all love is timeless and all age-old disputes irrelevant. But Iherek Carnelian is in danger of taking reality too seriously, and grows tired of his pleasures. Perhaps a hunt for aliens would lift his spirits. Or better yet - a journey through time. Yes, the past! So complicated and strange - especially with its scarcity of a time machine for a return trip. Cover art by Robert Gould. -

How was the Black Jewel to twist his fate? Because Dorian regained consciousness with the Black Jewel embedded in his skull and it felt warm, pulsating, comforting. Then he discovered the terrible truth - the evil black gem was an eye through which his enemies, the Forces of the Dark Empire, could see everything that he saw...all the places he had travelled, all the people he had encountered. And if he refused to carry out their plan to overcome Granbretan, the Black Jewel could be made to come alive...and eat Dorian Hawkmoon's brain. Cover art by Bob Haberfield. -

Even as the destructive shadow of the Dark Empire spread across the world, Hawkmoon knew that only he could rescue Yisselda - and the Red Amulet - from the Mad God. Cover art by Bob Haberfield. -

One of them, perhaps Las Cascadas - pinned 'twixt brisk Atlantic and seductive Mediterranean - or Lost Pines Ranch, Texas, home to her eccentric uncle, will surely bring her back to the nefarious Captain Horatio Quelch, pirate of the Singularity, enemy of her kind...Ultimately, the great war between Law and Chaos, which some will call the War in Heaven, spills over into all realms of existence and the final battle is fought to determine the Nature of Reality itself.

Book I of The Adventures of Oswald Bastable. Suppose that a few of our present inventions had been made earlier and others not discovered at all? How would the last century have evolved differently? Based on long-missing documents, this is the story of Oswald Bastable, a Victorian captain who found himself in an alternate future - 1973 (from Bastable's point of view, of course) and the airship rules supreme - a future thathas little relationship to his earth or his time.

Book II of The Roads Between Worlds. The Fireclown, a painted demon, a fat messiah, ever-masked, leading hysterical subterranean riots, inciting the people to tear down and revolt.

No-one knew but everyone was frightened and there were those who were prepared to exploit that fear. Earth, with its savage class structure, was dying. Complacently rushing toward a holocaust, corrupt and weakened by an impotent administration, Earth trembled before the threat of solar war. Only Alan Powys and Helen Curtis saw sense in the Fireclown's vision. But by then, he had vanished - and the greatest space chase in history was on. Cover art by Bob Haberfield.
