Bryan K. Williams (bryankwilliams) | 2 comments The back cover of Michael Moorcock's "The Rituals of Infinity" gives the following description. I have provided a picture of the back cover here: https://imgur.com/QZLQSfO

----------------------
There they lay, outside of space and time, each hanging in its separate limbo, each a planet called Earth. 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 multicolored 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…

The Rituals of Infinity is one of Michael Moorcock's most original science fiction concepts. The novel is a thought-provoker.

Shim (slimmy) | 3595 comments Replaced with the default description already present for these editions on Goodreads, which seems more descriptive of the story than what you have here.

This request is complete.

Please edit the title / subject of your post and add [done] so other Librarians know it is complete.
