Fifteen globes, fifteen lumps of matter sharing a name. Once they might have looked the same, too, but now they were very different. One was comprised almost solely of desert and ocean with a few forests of gigantic, distorted trees growing in the northern hemisphere; another seemed to be in perpetual twilight, a planet of dark obsidian; yet another was a honeycomb of multicoloured crystal and another had a single continent that was a ring of land around a vast lagoon. The wrecks of Time, abandoned and dying, each with a decreasing number of human inhabitants for the most part unaware of the doom overhanging their worlds. These worlds existed in a kind of subspacial well created in furtherance of a series of drastic experiments...\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWho has the immense power to create entire worlds only to discard them as failures in the backwaters of the space-time continuum?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWho would then maliciously destroy these less-than-perfect worlds and their human inhabitants, and to what end?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProfessor Faustus and the loyal men and women dispersed on these alternate Earths have dedicated their lives to eradicating the demolition teams and the Unstable Matter Situations the D-squads create. As they soon discover, much more is at stake, as they fight a seemingly losing battle with the very pattern of the Universe in the balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThought-provoking and full of surprises, \u003cem\u003eThe Wrecks of Time\u003c\/em\u003e weds science, religion, myth, and history into a page-turning narrative, a grand concept tale that has proven to be one of Michael Moorcock's most innovative science fiction works.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 136\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.32 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 19, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44057301418119,"sku":"9781515423638","price":23.92,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/Zj9PedLxRm9781515423638.webp?v=1772747413","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/the-wrecks-of-time-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
