4.0 out of 5 stars
Super Reader,
By Blue Tyson "- Research Finished" (Legion clubhouse) - See all my reviews
This review is from: City of the Beast or Warriors of Mars (Michael Kane, Vol. 1) (Paperback)
Moorcock has written an unapologetic, no holds barred, Burroughsian rip..errr.. riff. :) Complete with the same lack of wardrobe for the characters.
Michael Kane, a physicist, becomes involved with a project that can transport consciousness, it appears. Think Adam Strange sort of thing, complete with limited time of travel. It also happens, than growing up, he lived near a French fencing master, who gave him many, many lessons. Needless to say, he ends up projected to Mars, meets a princess, fights Blue Giant armies, has an evil raven haired sorceress femme fatale lust after and want to kill him, after seducing his princess' fiance, no less. He also happens to rescue a relative, make friends with an enemy, and all that sort of thing. Pure escapism, and a lot of fun.

Quite similar to Carson Napier's Cycle from ERB....,
By A Customer
This review is from: City of the Beast or Warriors of Mars (Michael Kane, Vol. 1) (Paperback)
Ever read ERB's (Edward Rice Burroughs)Mars Cycle ? Then you might find some correlation or even similitudes with it.
Anyway, it is still a very good book, great heroic action.
Unless in most of the book from Moorcok, the hero is not a looser from the beginning, he fights his way against all the dangers he might meet.
Read, Read, read..
