Fabulous Harbors (Hardcover)


Award-winning author Michael moorcock continuously astonishes readers and critics alike with each new literary offering. Revered for his eloquent, lyrical prose, his work is a testament to the emotional power of words.

"Fabulous Harbors" is the second of a three-book set, and is a bridge between the novels Blood and The War Amongst the Angels. Comprised of 11 interlocking tales, "Fabulous Harbors" takes the reader by the hand and guides him into and through Moorcock's spectacular expanding multiverse -- a luminously realized, richly layered world of fantastic invention and lovingly drawn characters.

Here, in the comfort and peace of Sporting Club Square -- an obscure and perhaps magical corner of London that seems oddly immune to the normal effects of time -- Begg family patriarch Sir Sexton and various family members and friends gather to swap memories, anecdotes and dreams. Come, sit by the fire and listen to the continuing exploits of the brave Sam Oakenhurst, the mysterious and seductive Rose von Bek, old friend and adventure Jerry Cornelius and Elric, the brooding albino prince of ruins, among others.

Haunting and compelling, "Fabulous Harbors" is an extraordinary achievement from a true star in the literary firmament.
