Jerry Cornelius is an English assassin, physicist, rock star, and messiah to the Age of Science. Written between 1965 and 1967, this sequence of four novels relating Cornelius’s adventures has been credited with inspiring dozens of writers and artists to rethink the genre of science fiction.
Set in a shifting, fluid version of the counter-culture 1960s, these books were among the most prominent ‘New Wave’ SF books. 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 THE FINAL PROGRAMME, A CURE FOR CANCER, THE ENGLISH ASSASSIN and THE CONDITION OF MUZAK.
