An Alien Heat

The Last Story in the Annals of The Human Race

A world of the remote future. the society is very rich, very decadent, and the population is small. The story centers on the schemes and conflicts of a group of bizarre men and women – The Duke of Queens, Lord Jagged of Canaria, the bitter giant Mongrove, My Lady Charlotina of Below-the-Lake, Mistress Christia (the everlasting concubine) and the Iron Orchid, mother of the central character, Jherek Carnelian.

When Jherek meets Mrs Amelia Underwood, a lady time-traveler from 1896, he determines to possess her and finds himself being plunged backwards in time to Victorian London…

An Alien Heat is set in a world of crazy, jeweled cities with ripe rotting technologies. It is an example of the mighty imagination of Michael Moorcock at its most magnificent.
