The Dancers at the End of Time (S.F. MASTERWORKS)

Product Information

Jherek's childhood and adolescence subsequently provided a great deal of novelty and interest for the Iron Orchid and her clique, and left Jherek with a notable childlike freshness and creativity, compared to the majority of his contemporaries.

While his Dancers at the End of Time series falls within the Eternal Champion saga, it's much closer to Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. She and Jherek resume the life they led in An Alien Heat, which is interrupted by the sudden arrival of a shell shocked, crazed Mr Underwood, Inspector Springer and a dozen policemen, and the Lat.

Philosophical inquiry, national identity, religious beliefs, moral principles - gone, nonexistent, all part of a long forgotten past, having been replaced by aesthetics, taste, sensuality and a zest for eye-catching fashion. An example of how lightly sex, including incest and homosexuality, is treated at the End of Time can be found in the early chapters of An Alien Heat.

Jherek looked about him, contemplating the enterprise afresh and wondering if it were not becoming too complicated. A sad, vidim da su mnogi kasnije uzeli neke ideje iz ove knjige, npr na samom pocetku ona vecera na Kraju vremena me toliko podsjetila na jednu epizodu Gaimanovog Sandmana, cak se i spominje lik koji predvidja sve na slovo D (a u Sandmanu se svi i zovu na D). A friend on PrintSF at Reddit ("thewillcar") made this observation about The Dancers at the End of Time on this thread that covers some important things that I neglected to mention in my review. Jherek is inexperienced to the point of naivete about the Victorian Era, despite his interest in it, and a (temporally) local thief, Snoozer Vine, tricks him into becoming an accomplice to Snoozer's latest scam.Short stories featuring Elric ("Elric at the End of Time"), and Jerry Cornelius ("The Murderer's Song") also feature characters and places from the End of Time.
