Book Synopsis

Jerry Cornelius is an English assassin, physicist, rock star, and messiah to the Age of Science. Mainstay of the infamous and influential magazine NEW WORLDS and star of some of Moorcock''s most celebrated novels, here are the short stories which made his name.

Jerry Cornelius is one of the most remarkable and distinctive characters in Moorcock''s work, and his time-travelling, trippy and bizarre adventures are must-reads.

Contains a wide selection of Jerry Cornelius short stories, including THE NATURE OF THE CATASTROPHE, THE ENTROPY CIRCUIT, THE DELHI DIVISION and many more.
