Start your review of Morlock Night. I read this for a challenge. It was a challenge. What Morlock Night heck. Morlock Night that same Time Machine is used for travel back to by evil denizens of the future. It's an invasion into Victorian London that can have no good outcome. Will King Arthur himself be roused from the 6th century to save the day? Imaginative, for sure. Morlock Night slightly comic, fun-nish read for a cold winter's day? The precursor Morlock Night more adventures for myself? With only pages and being thrown into the action right from the start, there was very little room for character development, which I think at least was sorely needed for the female lead. But at least it was short, and I didn't hate Morlock Night. View all 13 comments. So what do I Morlock Night of this book - good question and one I am not sure how well I can answer - especially so since I do not really want yo give the story away. However one thing I will say is that there is an introduction by which actually explains some Morlock Night the points I picked up and the similarities to one of his books I read some years ago. So the book, well first of all I didn't feel t was a sequel as such to the Time Machine did I feel disappointed since I had gone out my way to read So what do I make of this book - good question and one I am not sure how well I can answer - especially so Morlock Night I do not really want yo give the story away. So the book, well first of all I didn't feel t was a sequel as such to the Time Machine did I feel disappointed since I had gone out my way to read the original, I guess I should have been but I enjoyed re-reading it too much to be upset. This book as far as I Morlock Night concerned too ideas from the time machine and several others and wove them in to a story that felt like Victorian England but was something totally different. In fact in the introduction Tim Powers explained that K W Jeter had never even been to England at that point let alone explored London. So was I disappointed with the book - once I realised it wasn't so heavily connected to the Wells book I was a little but I quickly realised I was missing Morlock Night more important I was missing a great ripping yarn, an impossible adventure which I can see now was at the forefront and if you read some references even led the steampunk revolution years ahead of its popular acceptance. As such this book had its own place in Morlock Night rather than Morlock Night on the back of another and for that I am really pleased I read this book and in the end Morlock Night enjoyed it. The idea of Morlock Night sequel to H. Wells' Time Machine is irresistible. Morlocks stealing Morlock Night time machine and invading England of the s? If only someone other than K. Jeter wrote this. Someone who actually had respect for the classic science fiction story. Instead we get a jumble in which the original plot of the Time Machine is jettisoned for a mishmash concerning King Arthur, Merlin and the lost city of Atlantis. Even Morlock Night this could have been salvageable if not for Jeter's poo The idea of a sequel to H. Even then this could have been salvageable if not for Jeter's poor ability to write. Or is it Morlock Night poor ability to imitate Morlock Night. Wells' own marvelous style? Probably just a poor writer doing a poor imitation. There is Morlock Night much to like here. I find it amazing that readers have called this a Morlock Night in Steampunk. It does not bode Morlock Night for the genre. View 1 Morlock Night. This book wasn't for me, unfortunately. I'm a little surprised, and more than a little disappointed, to have to say that. As a reader I'm attracted to big, wild, crazy ideas. If the ideas are cool enough, I'm more than willing to look past the parts of a book that don't work quite as well. And this book -- one of Morlock Night original steampunk novels, written by the man who originated the very term -- practically boils over with wonderful ideas. A direct sequel to H. Wells's The Time Machine? Sign me This book wasn't for me, unfortunately. Sign Morlock Night up! Submarines, Morlocks, Victorian sewers, time machines, and King Arthur? How could this be anything but a Morlock Night romp? I'm sorry to say this fell quite flat for me. It begins with terrific promise, picking up just moments after the Time Traveler of Wells's novel has finished relating the tale of his far-future travels to his dinner guests. But then Merlin shows up, and things quickly get muddled. Our hero, Edwin Hocker, is a completely ineffectual twit who spends most of the book demanding that other characters explain things to him. He's dragged from adventure to adventure by the people around him or, on multiple occasions, sheer dumb luck. His sidekick Tafe, the laconic warrior lady, is so thinly characterized Morlock Night I Morlock Night forgot about her entirely. She tends Morlock Night disappear for tens of pages at a time, even when she's supposedly trekking right along with Hocker. The plot itself leans just a little heavily on plot coupons. Although, in the coupons' defense, the Morlock Night of using a time machine to make multiple copies of Excalibur is Morlock Night neat. And when Hocker finally assumes something resembling a heroic mantle, the climax of Morlock Night novel is related in passingtold to us in summary during the final 10 pages. It's entirely possible that this book just happens to rub up against several of my readerly idiosyncrasies. This book receives high praise as being one of the progenitors of steampunk. Perhaps I'm just the wrong audience for it. One extra star for sheer audacity. A note on the afterword included in this edition: In his afterword "K. Well, I dunno, maybe it was. But I think there's a simpler explanation. It's pretty well established that in the mids Jeter, Tim Powers, and a few other authors heard tell of a British publisher which was seeking to produce a series of books following the adventures of King Arther reincarnated during various historical periods. As Powers himself relates in the introduction to this very same edition, they haggled over the assignment of historical periods. Jeter won the Victorian era; Powers got the 16th century hence his wonderful novel, The Morlock Night of the Dark.
