Michael Moorcock 
Byzantium Endures [PDF ebook] 
The First Volume of the Colonel Pyat Quartet

Meet Pyat: Tsarist rebel, Nazi thug, continental con man and reactionary counterspy. He is the dark and dangerous antihero of the legendary Michael Moorcock’s most controversial work. Published in 1981to great critical acclaim – then condemned and unavailable in the United States for thirty years – Byzantium Endures is the story of a cocaine addict, sexual adventurer and obsessive anti-Semite whose journey from Leningrad to London connects him with those from Trotsky to Makhno, and whose career echoes that of the twentieth century’s descent into Fascism and total war.
