Think of science fiction and Great Britain and you might think of Doctor Who. True, that’s been recently on television. However, for literature you should think of Michael Moorcock. For those unfamiliar with this titan of science fiction and fantasy, The Best of Michael Moorcock is a fantastic introduction.
