Welcome to Litsy!

First in Moorcock's "Oswald Bastable" series featuring a time-hopping British Lancer. In this one Bastable jumps from 1902 to a 1973 in which the World Wars never happened and Western imperialism has developed to an extreme. What first seems a technological Utopia turns out to hide sinister foundations. This was a pleasant surprise: I expected light adventure and found social criticism, satire, ... and also light adventure. Reading the next soon.

Can never get enough steampunk!

1. Submarine with Captain Nemo
2. Got a bum knee that could use an upgrade
3. Dogs FTW with a shout out to K-9
4. Moorcock‘s Nomad of the Time Stream Trilogy

Inadvertent time travel, anti-imperialist revolutionaries, and all the airships you can handle...

Michael Moorcock's unpretentious writing style makes suspension of disbelief easy, even when he's writing about the most bizarre circumstances, and he balances a compelling story with a healthy dose of social commentary.

This is definitely a must-read for any fan of the steampunk sub-genre.

I think I may have to get the rest of this series.

#SeasonsReadings2016 #day14 My only #steampunk novels are Michael Moorcock's Nomad of the Time Streams trilogy, which Wikipedia says is one of the early examples of the genre, and Clockwork Angels by Neil Peart & Kevin J. Anderson. I just realized this photo also works for #day13 #multiplecopies #bonus
