Jherek Carnelian was a differnet guy in the same mold. The series he was in was "Dancers at the end of Time", the first or last (been a couple decades) book was "An Alient Heat". Jerry Cornelius was the no doubt drug induced protagonist of the Cornelius Chrinicles 1 through 3. Not quite as bad as Finnegan's Wake, but getting there.

I read a bunch of Van Lustbader years ago (about 20) the first of which was a really juicy thriller called The Ninja.
Favorite Bathroom reading of mine in Jr. High.

After a few of these series, it got predictable though. But it does remind me of another rather juicy novel in the genre by Trevanian: Shibumi. I recommend this as a thrill read.
I have that one, but I've never read it. This is good. I am in the market for something good to read just now.
