I enjoyed this one more than the first volume in the series.
More of a story developed. ( )

The Hollow Lands is the second in the Jherek Carnelian series, in which Jherek waits for Mrs. Amelia Underwood to return to his futures, finally gets tired of waiting, then a chance encounter provides him the means to return to London in 1896 and find her again. He manages to get her to come with him by planting a seed of doubt into the staid Mr. Underwood who all-too-quickly comes to believe that his wife has cuckolded him. Amelia and Jherek go on the lamb, attempting to dodge the police who believe that he's either a convicted murderer who's somehow come back from the dead after having been hanged, or a (*gasp*) foreign socialist.

Hilarity ensues. Eventually Amelia agrees to accompany Jherek back to the future, but their time machine goes a little wonky and appears to take them into the very distant past. One wonders if the machinations of Lord Jagged the Crafty are being played out here or if their time machine actually did just malfunction.

Looking forward to more... ( )

Jherek and friends try to amuse themselves at the End of Time, and stumble upon a way back to 1896, and Jherek's lost love, Mrs. Amelia Underwood.

I had to read this second book before I was sure I liked the series. Jherek is so hapless you can't help but laugh, and this time the hash he makes out of the past is a little less tragic. ( )

The second book of the "Dancers at the End of Time" trilogy, in which Jherek Carnelian travels back to Victorian England to rescue his beloved Mrs. Amelia Underwood. After narrowly escaping death, he begins a new campaign of seesawing through time and space in an effort to reunite himself with and prove his love to Mrs. Underwood. Continues Moorcock's amazing depiction of the hedonism and semi-benign decadence that results when mankind at last achieves absolute power over his environment. ( )
