DislikedI've always been disappointed with it. I've read it twice. I don't think it's a great book.

Morlock Night (1979)
Creators: Disliked An unwitting participant in the mission to restore Excalibur to its rightful owner who comes awake only when England needs to be rescued, the narrator of this dark farcical romp is enlisted by Merlin to try to save the world. Written as a sequel to H. G. Wells' The Time Machine, K.W. Jeter created a science fiction tale employing alternate history and clockwork devices in a Victorian London setting that inspired dozens of writers to follow suit in a genre which Jeter aptly captured in the term "steampunk".

Robert SilverbergImagine that the Black Death of 1348 destroyed most of Europe's people instead of only one-fourth. As a result the Turks rule Europe, Africa is the world's cultural center, and America in 1963, is a semi-savage continent governed by Aztecs. North America is the setting where a young Englishman seeks fortune and adventure.
