I hadn't read this since I was a teenager, but my opinion has barely changed. Amiable and harmless yarn, but very little of Moorcock's literary influence in evidence. Non-essential even for Hawkwind fans. ( ) I’ve read “The Time of the Hawklords” by Michael Moorcock and Michael Butterworth twice. The first time I read it I was a teenager in the 1980’s and thought it was a mediocre sci fi novel by one of my favorite fantasy authors, Moorcock. At the time I’d never heard of the band, Hawkwind, and I thought the band in the story were completely fictional. The second time I read it was later on, after I became a huge Hawkwind fan, and familiar with their Moorcock-penned spoken word song, “Sonic Attack”, which completely changed the context of the story. In the book the band, the Hawklords, have to continually play their music to counter a sound-based death generator buried in the center of the Earth that’ll destroy all life. It’s definitely better reading it knowing a bit about Hawkwind, as the mid-70’s line up are basically the stars of the novel, slightly fictionalized…. It’s easy to recognize the various members in the characters, their personalities and contributions to Hawkwind’s overall sound and concert shows. I definitely wouldn’t recommend this for a reader new to Michael Moorcock who wasn’t already a Hawkwind fan… nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

Rocking On The Edge Of Time. Deep at the Earth's Centre lay the Death Generator. Buried there from time immemorial by a long-dead race of aliens, it had at last been triggered into action . . . For among the ruins of London, surrounded by the survivors of the recent holocaust, Hawkwind rock, their music catalysing the attacking Death Ray--a lethal concoction of high energy that insinuates it's way into the mind, tormenting every sense with demonic psychic visions. With the breakdown of the barriers between nightmare and reality, Hawkwind find themselves re-enacting the stages of a war that took place thousands of years before, in which they take the role of the Hawklords--the only potential saviours of the human race otherwise doomed to extermination in an apocalyptic battle between the forces of good and evil . . .
