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
The lyrical genius of Michael Moorcock defies categorization; his creations soar to grand and golden places hitherto unimagined and unimaginable. In this, his most heartfelt and astonishing work to date, he carries the reader across mystical thresholds viewed from afar in the brilliant Blood and Fabulous Harbors, and reveals the mighty destinies, exemplary loves, and the true and secret histories of his most beloved and intriguing characters.
It is a tale of the incomparable Rose von Bek, who discovers the myriad possibilities that life has to offer in the special, infinitely wondrous places known as the Second Ether - where time has no bounds and existence is a river of endless reinvention. Here, also, is the love of her life - the volatile and enigmatic Sam Oakenburst - and the story of the ill-fated passion of the exotic Colinda Dovero and the swashbuckling gambler Jack Karaquazian.
These four together - along with their exceptional companions, including Rose's mad uncle, Michael, late of Texas - will become allies in what some call the great War in Heaven, fighting shoulder-to-shoulder against the agents of evil and stagnation, in a battle whose outcome will determine the very nature of reality itself.
