4.0 out of 5 stars Shades of Cornelius, 6 May 2001
By A Customer
The only stories to match Moorcock's in the Jerry Cornelius collection The New Nature of the Catastrophe are M. John Harrison's, written in the early 70s. While Harrison was using a technique borrowed from Moorcock, he was still using it to promote his own ideas. If anyone thinks this book lacks substance, I suggest they check out Harrison's Cornelius stories. They will find recurring obsessions if not the depth of this novel. Harrison is a fine, substantial writer with a long career, in which he has matured and expanded his range. This is not his best work, but it is better than 99% of anything else I've found so far! In England, I mean, not here!

4.0 out of 5 stars Chill, unsettling and rather too plausible, 24 Oct 2000
By Jason Mills "jason10801" (Accrington, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
Slapdash irresponsible scientists, criminally negligent couriers, corruption, exploitation and cruelty - these are just the bits sticking up out of this murky water. The impossibility of realising dreams, the impossibility of accepting that, the responsibilities of love and the absence of spirit - these may be lurking underneath, but it is hard to see in this bad light. Perhaps you had better put your own head under and decide for yourself. Be careful: the water's cold.
