"The eternal champion is doomed to live forever in a thousand incarnations. A key player in the Game of Time, Captain Oswald Bastable is forced to question his most cherished ideals as he becomes a nomad of the time streams, eternally traveling the wayward currents and nameless branches of the chaotic multiverse. This fourth volume in Michael Moorcock's classic sequence, rewritten, expanded, and revised for its first U.S. appearance, introduces Oswald Bastable, former Captain of the 53rd Royal Lancers and Special Air Police, now guided through a multitude of alternate futures only by the red republican chrononaut, Una Perrson." --adapted from back cover.
