Michael Moorcock applauds Who Needs Cleopatra?

Posted at 17:46 on 16 Mar 2006


Steve Redwood's first novel was recommended by Richard Morgan and nominated for the British Fantasy Society 2003 Best Novel Award, and now his second, Who Needs Cleopatra?, has earned an accolade from no less than the legendary Michael Moorcock (himself the author of what is considered the time travel masterpiece series, Dancers at the End of Time) whose final Between the Wars Colonel Pyat volume, The Vengeance of Rome, has just been published.

Moorcock said of Redwood's book: "Very enjoyable indeed, great fun – I tend to like irony and humour in my imaginative fiction. Especially time travel fiction. Loved the ending. Very welcome break, and I'm sorry it's over. It's not the only book that makes me wish I could win the lottery and set up my own publishing imprint."
