This book, one of Mr. Moorcock's earlier efforts (and not one of his best, by any means) costs more than twice as much here than if you ordered a real book from Amazon. Barnes and Noble saves money on printing, binding, storage and shipping with this electronic format. So why isn't the savings being passed on to the consumer? They're not going to generate a lot of interest in a gadget like the NOOK if the executives are lining their pockets with the savings that they should be passing along to the consumer.

Nice

Good book

This reprint from the Law and Chaos saga is a terrific action-packed entry

Dorian Hawkmoon and his companion Oladahn the Bulgar Mountain Beastman journey towards Castle Brass. However their trek is interrupted by the powerful ruthless Dark Empire of Granbretan armies and their evil dark jewel power (see The Jewel in the Skull). The pair survive and enter Soryandum a rare city not conquered by the Dark Empire due to their knowledge of time and space.

Dorian thinks if he can learn the secrets of this safe city, he can use them to keep Kamar safe; the home of his beloved Yisselda, currently a prisoner of the Mad God. Hawkmoon knows he must battle through the Granbretan forces and evil monsters, but is unprepared for nasty pirates assaulting him and his travel mates. Still he and the others continue their quest knowing the madwomen army of the Mad God awaits them before he can attempt to take the amulet away from the insane deity.

This reprint from the Law and Chaos saga is a terrific action-packed entry as the rules of existence are fought eternally. Filled with battle scenes after battle scenes, the cast is never developed except somewhat the hero and the use of chance to move forward the quest is distracting. However, readers who enjoy an ultra high octane fantasy set in a fascinating multiverse will appreciate the adventures of Hawkmoon.
