Comments and Reviews
| ppint. 7th Aug 2024 | Review- well, what else could one do with dorian hawkmoon's brain ?° ° - see back cover blurb... gloom, doom and the depths of despondency doing duty providing a typically moorcockian dark flavour to this stage in the central character's career towards his eventual but certain early death - or worse(!) - michael moorcock pretty much defined this style or school of sword'n'sorcery, not as a tame copy of robert e. howard's simple strongarm swordsman, but one ever at risk of being cheated or downright double-crossed by his temporary employers, even - perhaps especially (?) - if they gain very nearly all they hire his swords to win. moorcock also introduced the idea of a constant struggle between opposing forces aimed at or personifying the dedication to the imposition of unalterable law, implacable and cruel in the name of justice - and the drive towards the ultimate chaos of purest entropy, equally unlovable and unlivable-with by humanity, a discord driving events as powerful as - or totally replacing - the hitherto traditional fantasy dichotomy of good and evil. - and he loathed & hated tolkien's "the lord of the rings" - ignore the idiotic lancer books cover blurb. 2 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review? | |

| ppint. 9th Jul 2019 | number in isbn10 field is^W was still wrong and should^W has now been corrected to the sbn this edition actually bears, ''583113680'' mayflower books third uk p/b printing (probably near-identical with mayflower books second printing) cover art by bob haberfield (unsigned, uncredited; another printing credits, though as ''bob habberfield'') cover price 30p, australia & new zealand $1.00, canada $1.25 160pp. including titles, indicia etc. later mayflower books printings may have borne the isbn ''0583113680'' on the cover but this does not; the appending of a further digit does not turn an sbn into an isbn: its purpose, function or use upon granada publishing group p/bs may have been purely internal, and has prob'ly long been forgotten. | |
| ppint. 18th May 2018 | number in the isbn10 field is still incorrect. | |
| ppint. 12th Nov 2017 | the number in the isbn10 field is not an isbn10. the final digit of the number in the isbn10 field should be deleted to leave the sbn9 number borne by this book | |
