Title: The Wrecks of Time Title Record # 16169
Author: Michael Moorcock
Date: 1967-12-00
Type: NOVEL
Language: English
Note:
  • Serialized in New Worlds SF using pseudonym James Colvin and with the title The Wrecks of Time.
  • Ace published an abridged & edited version of the story as The Wrecks of Time 1967 in one half of an Ace Double (probably to make it fit better). Fantastic Fiction reports "Cuts were made to the Ace edition without the author's consent" but a source for this was not provided. On Michael Moorcock's web site someone referred to this as The Wrecks Of Time (censored US edition).
  • The complete story was then published in the UK by Arrow as Rituals of Infinity and reprinted by others using this title.
  • Roc (Penguin) went back to The Wrecks of Time title when they reprinted the full version in the UK.
