Michael Moorcock, The Chronicles of Corum (Berkley, ) Moorcock returns to the world of the Eternal Champion, in the guise of Corum, then rips him out of it. Over a thousand years after the events of the last novels, Corum has become worshipped as a demigod. Corum Jhaelen Irsei (the Prince in the Scarlet Robe), also known as Corum Llaw Ereint (Corum of the Silver Hand) is one of the last of the Vadhagh and an incarnation of the Eternal Champion. After living a life of leisure and study, Corum was suddenly thrust into bloodshed and sorrow when he returned from a trip abroad to find that the Mabden chieftain Glandyth a Krae had slaughtered his. As far as I'm concerned, Michael Moorcock is the Grandmaster of Fantasy and this book, among so many others, proves it. So many twists and turns, and one cannot help but to care about the characters. Of course, the Elric series is his best-known work, but Corum, as another manifestation of the Eternal Champion, does not disappoint in this.
Armed with the Hand of Kwll and his own thirsty sword, Prince Corum Jhaelen pursues his fate and his vengeance through all the fifteen planes of Earth, even to the very center of Time-the still, blue city of Tanelorn. In this powerful fantasy Michael Moorcock has created more then just another tale of sword and sorcery. At Moidel's Mount, Corum has one last conversation with Kwll, then one with the spirit of the Black Sword. Then to free himself from the sword, Corum falls to his death at the foot of Moidel's Mount, joining the countless statues of fellow Eternal Champions, Companions, and Consorts in Tanelorn. Corum's vendetta against the Mabden draws him into a reality-warping battle that defies time, space and the gods of chaos. Another fantastical, acid trip adventure by Moorcock. This is the third iteration of the Eternal Champion that I've read so far and I'm really catching on to the formula and themes that keep every series tied together.
