About The Book

MULTIVERSE is Moorcock’s epic 12 issue series combining three unique and separate storylines from the Eternal Champion novels into one centuries-spanning epic story that unites Elric of Melnibone, Sir Seaton Begg, Silverskin, Sam Oakenhurst and Rose Von Beck in an adventure told across thousands of years of time. With one of three artists illustrating each story, Walter Simonson on Moonbeams and Roses, John Ridgeway on Duke Elric and Mark Reeve on The Metatemporal Detective. Set across three unique locations and time-lines, the three story arcs follow the mutual search for the enigmatic underworld crime lord, Silverskin concluding with the convergence of the three plots. In Moonbeams and Roses, hero Jack Karaquazian does battle in a meta-universal game of chance with leading characters from the Moorcock universe including Moorcock and Simonson themselves. While in The Metatemporal Detective ace detective Sir Seaton Begg and his companion Dr. Taffy Sinclair investigate a series of seemingly unrelated crimes in the period between world wars, crimes involving Adolf Hitler. Finally in Duke Elric, the albino emperor himself is magically transported to the Middle East in 1000AD and forced to embark on a quest to return him home. Contains: Michael Moorcock’s Multiverse Vol 1. (ISBN 9781787740808) Michael Moorcock’s Multiverse Vol 2. (ISBN 9781787740815)

About The Author

Born in 1939, Michael Moorcock is an award-winning English writer of science fiction, literary fiction and fantasy as well as an editor and accomplished musician, having recorded with, among others, Hawkwind, Deep Fix and Blue Oyster Cult. Over his career Moorcock has created a literal pantheon of legendary characters, including Jerry Cornelius, Corum, and Erekosë while his most famous creation remains Elric of Melniboné, who first appeared in the novella The Dreaming City published in 1961. Elric has gone on to appear in at least 12 books, as well as scores of comics & roleplaying games and has also been the inspiration of several albums and songs. Moorcock’s editorial career began at the age of 17 editing Tarzan Adventures, and in 1964 he became the editor of New Worlds magazine where he spearheaded a ‘New Wave’ in science fiction. Although Moorcock did not coin the word ‘multiverse’, he was, however, the first sf author to adopt it as a concept, coincidentally at the same time as David Deutsch. The Many-Worlds theory was first described in fiction by H.G.Wells. Moorcock first described his more complex Multiverse in his 1963 novel, The Sundered Worlds. His version of the Multiverse has become the standard adopted in science fiction and fantasy as well as by certain physicists and mathematicians.
