novel, science fiction, steampunk, time machine
Jeter's sequel to H.G. Wells' The Time Machine .
"Remember the original Time Machine and its builder's astonishing account of his journey to the far future when humanity had divided into two races -- the worker-bestial Morlocks and the elfin-sheep Eloi? Remember also that the Time Machine went back to that future -- and never returned?
"What happened to the Time Machine? Did the Morlocks capture it? And did they use it to return to the time and place of its origin -- the Victorian England of H.G.Wells's days?
"Morlock Night -- the original 'Steam Punk' novel -- is the completion of that epic story. This is what happened when the Time Machine came back with the Morlocks as its riders -- and London as their new hunting ground for human cattle..." [jacket blurb, UK pbk, 1989]
"In the tradition of Philip José Farmer, Jeter takes a previous fiction written by someone else to its conceptual conclusion." --Henry W.Targowski (in Mark/Space , 1995).
