The Dancers at the End of Time (S.F. MASTERWORKS)

Product Information

Sometimes, after you've just finished killing a man with a horse shoe because you were out of bullets for instance, you need to read something light and funny to make you forget about all the carnage you've wrought. The object of his love, Mrs Amelia Underwood, is driven by her faith and is a moralistic, traditional woman from the 19th century England. However Jherek Carnelian, a bemused denizen of the End of Time, is in danger of taking reality too seriously, and grows tired of his pleasures.

The time in the school is constantly recycled by a robot nanny so old she has started to break down, and as a result is recycling the same week repeatedly.

Jherek, the Duke of Queens, the policemen, Amelia and Mr Underwood seek refuge from the Lat in one of the Lost Cities, which hold the energy used by the people of the End of Time to alter matter through their rings, and are surprised to find it crumbling, and the sun gone.

She falls in love with him at last; as they are about to embrace, however, she is whisked back to her own time.There are also myriad other very colorful characters who I won’t even try to describe because I would be here all day. The final volume The End of All Songs has a somewhat darker tone, and an apocalyptic climax when the much-vaunted end of time actually arrives, and the end of timers find it not to their liking.
