Reviews
"Moorcock shows us . . . that fascistic attitudes are not as far removed from some forms of popular fiction and fantasy as we might prefer to think." Robert O'Brien, Time Out London, "Few novelists have risen above the orthodox categories of fiction to produce something as expansive and elaborate as this." -Peter Ackroyd, Sunday Times, "Ostensibly, Pyat's voyages from California to Casablanca and Cairo are those of any picaresque hero, plunging into adventure, danger and miraculous escape, without any purpose except the next step of the journey. But it is also a journey through the prejudices of the 1920s, from the subliminal racism of the British empire and the suppressed antisemitism of Hollywood to the dawning supermanship of fascism." --Andro Linklater, Sunday Times (UK) "There is a feast in store for those who have never been dazzled and disturbed by Michael Moorcock's eye for the absurd and gift for fantasy, and confirmation for those familiar with his work, that he is one of the most original authors of our time." --Sunday Telegraph (UK) "Moorcock's powers of description--especially when focused on the sights and smells of megalopoli--and his range of references are immense." --Mark Sanderson, Times Literary Supplement "Few novelists have risen above the orthodox categories of fiction to produce something as expansive and elaborate as this." --Peter Ackroyd, Sunday Times (UK) "New adventures both picaresque and grotesque take [Pyat] across bootlegging America, like a hobo, to Hollywood as actor, writer and set-designer; to Egypt with various film-making eccentrics, only to end up enacting scenes of lurid degradation for a powerful pervert... Such escapades are Hollywood and schoolboy fantasy seen through the eyes of a talented inventor who is also a bigoted racist, egoist and abuser of women. Moorcock shows us through this remarkable but odious bore that fascistic attitudes are not as far removed from some forms of popular fiction and fantasy as we might prefer to think." --Robert O'Brien, Time Out London, "Moorcock shows us . . . that fascistic attitudes are not as far removed from some forms of popular fiction and fantasy as we might prefer to think." -Robert O'Brien, Time Out London, "Few novelists have risen above the orthodox categories of fiction to produce something as expansive and elaborate as this." --Peter Ackroyd, Sunday Times, "Moorcock shows us . . . that fascistic attitudes are not as far removed from some forms of popular fiction and fantasy as we might prefer to think." --Robert O'Brien, Time Out London, "Few novelists have risen above the orthodox categories of fiction to produce something as expansive and elaborate as this."

Synopsis
"I will admit I was lured into temptation during the twenties and thirties, and I blame no one for what happened then, least of all myself." Unmistakably, this is the voice of Colonel Pyat, addict, inventor, and bizarre Everyman for the twentieth century. In Jerusalem Commands, the third of the Pyat quartet, our hero schemes and fantasises his way from New York to Hollywood, from Cairo to Marrakech, from cult success to the utter limits of sexual degradation, leaving a trail of mechanical and human wreckage in his wake as he crashes towards an inevitable appointment with the worst nightmare this century has to offer. It is Michael Moorcock's extraordinary achievement to convert the life of Maxim Pyatnitski into epic and often hilariously comic adventure. Sustained by his dreams and profligate inventions, his determination to turn his back on the realities of his own origins, Pyat runs from crisis to crisis, every ruse a further link in a vast chain of deceit, suppression, betrayal. Yet, in his deranged self-deception, his monumentally distorted vision, this thoroughly unreliable narrator becomes a lens for focusing, through the dimensions of wild farce and chilling terror, on an uneasy brand of truth., "I will admit I was lured into temptation during the twenties and thirties, and I blame no one for what happened then, least of all myself." Unmistakably, this is the voice of Colonel Pyat, addict, inventor, and bizarre Everyman for the twentieth century. In Jerusalem Commands , the third of the Pyat quartet, our hero schemes and fantasises his way from New York to Hollywood, from Cairo to Marrakech, from cult success to the utter limits of sexual degradation, leaving a trail of mechanical and human wreckage in his wake as he crashes towards an inevitable appointment with the worst nightmare this century has to offer. It is Michael Moorcock's extraordinary achievement to convert the life of Maxim Pyatnitski into epic and often hilariously comic adventure. Sustained by his dreams and profligate inventions, his determination to turn his back on the realities of his own origins, Pyat runs from crisis to crisis, every ruse a further link in a vast chain of deceit, suppression, betrayal. Yet, in his deranged self-deception, his monumentally distorted vision, this thoroughly unreliable narrator becomes a lens for focusing, through the dimensions of wild farce and chilling terror, on an uneasy brand of truth., Back in print for the first time in 30 years, this epic and hilariously comic adventure follows the fictional Colonel Pyat through real historical settings as he fumbles and forces his way through life as an antihero everyman, leaving a trail of wreckage as he passes through some of the most chilling moments of the 20th century. This thrilling third installment of the Pyat quartet sees Pyat hitchhiking across the United States, acting in Hollywood, and avoiding perverts in Cairo. As Pyat schemes and fantasizes his way from cult success to sexual degradation, he pulls strength from his wild dreams and profligate inventions. Nazi, addict, and rebel, Pyat weaves a complicated tapestry of lies and deceit, wherein the reader discovers that this wild farce becomes a lens for focusing universal and uncomfortable truths about society and man.
