I haven't yet got around to reading this particular sub-series, but the wider Eternal Champion mythos is a brilliant idea and he's a fantastic writer. The original six Elric books are fantastic, but my favourites so far are the Hawkmoon books. The "History of the Runestaff" series were written at an incredible pace - in a matter of days - and they have a great feeling of momentum. The successor series, the "Chronicles of Castle Brass" is even better, at times. What Moorcock does so well is create fast-paced, exciting adventures which have a thoughtful underlying idea and which can become almost profound, sometimes. The man's a titan.Andy Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10959017825528942226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5477956438422079368.post-13157150424956871312022-06-09T07:49:00.963-04:002022-06-09T07:49:00.963-04:00I encountered The Eternal Champion very early on i...I encountered The Eternal Champion very early on in my reading my way through a large part of Moorcock's body of work. Particularly fresh and brisk, it has remained one of my favorites among his works, and John Daker, if far less well-known than Elric, probably deserving of more attention than he generally gets.Naderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06937701625419069972noreply@blogger.com
