The Laughter Of Carthage

Having escaped the horrors of the Russian civil war, Maxim Arturovitch Pyat discovers that the hazards of Europe are as nothing to the perils that await him in America. He is almost immediately involved in further scandals, touring the country as a speaker for the Ku Klux Klan. In this second volume of Michael Moorcock's acclaimed Pyat Quartet, only the reappearance of Pyat's enduring love, his femme fatale, Mrs Cornelius, offers him a chance of escape.
