The first ever steampunk stories from the author whom The Modern Review called "A great novelist... Original and ambitious... Resolutely British".
These are the adventures of Captain Oswald Bastable (ex-53rd Lancers and Special Air Force), flung from the North East Frontier of 1902 into the future world of a 1973 where the stately airships of the great powers hold benign sway over a peaceful world. Guided only by the red republican cosmonaut, Una Persson, Bastable must question his most cherished ideals, and confront a multitude of alternate futures before at last gaining an understanding of his fate.

The Tale of the Eternal Champion
The Tale of the Eternal Champion is a fourteen volume set of omnibuses that present a considerable number of Michael Moorcock's Eternal Champion novels and stories in a 'recommended reading order'. It was originally published by Millennium/Orion in hardcover and trade paperback editions between 1992 and 1993, and then in mass-market paperback editions between 1995 and 1998.
The series was jointly edited by Moorcock and John Davey, and presented Moorcock with an opportunity to make a number of revisions to the texts to give a more uniform feel to the Tale. Each omnibus also contained a new Introduction by Moorcock.
The Tale of the Eternal Champion consists of thirteen books. The current recommended reading order for the series is provided below.
