It's a fine novel; I'm quite fond of it. But be aware that the dialect is thick in this one....

All by Michael Moorcock and in a Omnibus called A Nomad of Time. Hope i like it like i enjoyed Corum books because Elric stories was a bit overrated....

Second hand haul.
I think I'd wear a neck-brace if I were you, Connavar. The entire manner of these books (especially the first two) are quite different to anything by Moorcock you've read before. They are cast in the mold of a Victorian sf tale, and Moorcock captures the feel of that period's writing very well....
