5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding. And there's jokes, too!, 6 Jan 2002
By A Customer
Fast, furious and full of invention, this series has fueled half the fantasy epics on the shelves -- but it always has something extra. Running under all the baroque blood-letting, the wonderful monsters and fantastic journeys, is the same sort of mind which gave us Jerry Cornelius, Colonel Pyat and even the Dancers at the End of Time. And that means you find political satire, among other things, as a very satisfying extra. That's why you can always re-read Moorcock -- there's always more than he lets you first see. I know this is sword and sorcery fiction, but it is to the average Tolkien-cloned fantasy what Dashiel Hammett and Ian Rankin are to detective stories --
it never let's you forget that the real world is out there and that you're morally involved in it.
While this doesn't make him the most popular escapist fantasy writer in the world, it explains why his books stay on his reader's shelves and are very well-thumbed indeed! There is no popular writer as varied, clever and with the same dynamic narrative drive. It's why you trust him on Cornelius and Mother London -- he can do the best straightforward narrative in the business and he
can produce incredible experiments. For fun, there isn't a better Moorcock romp than Hawkmoon, though Elric and Corum are much more interesting characters. I started with this and have read the Mayflower paperbacks to bits, so am grateful for the four-in-one edition. Anyone who enjoys good fantasy will want to read this. It's a grittier alternative to LOTR, and none the worse for that.

5.0 out of 5 stars one of the best in the Eternal champion serie, 28 Mar 2001
By A Customer
Although not an Elric book, this is (IMHO) one of the best moorcock Eternal Champion books. placed in "Europe", Grandbretan takes the evil empire part, and you can imagine what it was like to live in europe during and after WWII... together with Corum and Elric, the best trio for a real Moorcock lover.

5.0 out of 5 stars Accessible Moorcock, 4 Nov 2003
By Donal Garvey (Ireland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The Hawkmoon books are perhaps less ambitious and definitely less 'quirky' than most of Moorcock's books but this does not take from their quality. As a narrative they are particularly successful and the writing is stylish. I recommend this as an introduction to Moorcock.
