- The Warlord of the Air
- The Land Leviathan
- The Steel Tsar
The first ever steampunk stories from the author whom The Modern Review called "A great novelist... Original and ambitious... Resolutely British".
These are the adventures of Captain Oswald Bastable (ex-53rd Lancers and Special Air Force), flung from the North East Frontier of 1902 into the future world of a 1973 where the stately airships of the great powers hold benign sway over a peaceful world. Guided only by the red republican cosmonaut, Una Persson, Bastable must question his most cherished ideals, and confront a multitude of alternate futures before at last gaining an understanding of his fate.

The series was jointly edited by Moorcock and John Davey, and presented Moorcock with an opportunity to make a number of revisions to the texts to give a more uniform feel to the Tale. Each omnibus also contained a new Introduction by Moorcock.
