Michael Moorcock naît à Londres le 18 décembre 1939, à temps pour voir les bombes allemandes rythmer sa petite enfance : de là sa vision du monde comme apocalypse lente sous l'obscure clarté de l'entropie. Son père, ingénieur, l'inscrit en vain dans des cours privés successifs ; à quinze ans, il rompt avec l'entropie scolaire. Ce qui lui plaît, c'est le rock : il est guitariste et chanteur dans plusieurs groupes, dont l'un part en Europe du Nord, ou le feu des soirées brûle sur les paysages glacés. Il aime écrire : il publie son premier texte dans un fanzine, à 12 ans. À 18 ans il devient le rédacteur en chef de Tarzan Adventures, un périodique pour la jeunesse. Les premières aventures d'Elric publiées en 1961 donnent le branle à une cascade de héros qui survolent les horreurs de la Terre avec un détachement cynique ; Sojan, Kane, Corum, Dorian Hawkmoon, Erekosë, Jerry Cornelius, Von Bek, Oswald Bastable, ont chacun leur monde crépusculaire, mais leur errance les conduit sur les routes du multivers ou ils se rencontrent et comprennent qu'ils sont des incarnations d'un seul et même antihéros archétypal : le Champion Éternel, déstabilisé par la guerre sans merci de l'Ordre et du Chaos. Autre bataille : celle que Moorcock, à la tête de la revue New Worlds et des auteurs modernes (1964-1969), livre aux traditionalistes.

Résumé
It is the 21st century and Earth is overcrowded, underfed and teetering on the brink of worldwide chaos. Their best and last hope rests among the stars, in finding another world able to sustain human life. Enter Colonel Jerry Cornelius, hero and adventurer extraordinaire. Along with his wife Cathy and good friend, Professor Frank Marek, he will brave the madness of space and the dangers of an alien world.
But there is more to this new world than meets the eye. Secrets are buried here, in its earth and in its history. Uncovering them could hold the keys to planet Earth's salvation as well as its past. But time is against Jerry Cornelius. His friend has gone mad, his wife has gone missing, and with each tick of the clock planet Earth draws closer to its end. Bereft of friends, loved ones, and all he has ever known, Jerry Cornelius will hold the fates of two worlds in his hands.
A solution will require all his legendary strength, intelligence and courage ... and even that might not be enough in the end.
