The War Amongst the Angels

Synopsis

In the latest dazzling example of a lyrical literary genius that defies categorization, The War Amongst The Angels carries the reader across the mystical thresholds viewed from afar in Blood and Fabulous Harbors to reveal the mighty destinies and secret histories of some of Michael Moorcock's most beloved and intriguing characters. It is the story of the incomparable Rose von Bek and her adventures on an alternate, Earth and in the Second Ether -- an infinitely wondrous place where time has no bounds and life is a river of endless reinvention. Here, also, is the love of her life, the volatile and enigmatic Sam Oakenhurst, as well as the ill-fated lovers Colinda Dovero and gambler Jack Karaquazian, who join Rose -- along with a host of exceptional companions -- to fight shoulder-to-shoulder against the agents of evil and stagnation in the ongoing conflict some call the great War in heaven; a struggle whose outcome will determine the very nature of reality itself.
