Review
Pawn Of Chaos: Tales Of The Eternal Champion is an anthology of original fiction by some of the best storytellers in the field of heroic fantasy today (Michael Moorcock, John Shirley, Robert E. Vardeman, Nancy A. Collins, Colin Greenland, Roland J. Green, and sixteen others). Pawn of Chaos is set in Michael Moorcock's Multiverse, a universe upon universe of alternate Time and Space in which Law and Chaos wage a continuous struggle to change the fundamental rules of existence. Readers will journey with the Eternal Champion who is doomed to live forever in a thousand incarnations including Erekosl, Prince Corum, Dorian Hawkmoon, Jerry Cornelius, and Elric of Melnibone. Each becomes a key player in the "Game of Time", yearning for their lost love and the tranquility of the fabled Tanelorn. -- Midwest Book Review

Super Reader,
By Blue Tyson "- Research Finished" (Legion clubhouse) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Pawn of Chaos: Tales of the Eternal Champion (Paperback)
If someone else has said that this is disappointing, sub-par or not well-received, then, they are right. Absolutely below average. (Average story rating, 2.8) Not sure what the editor was thinking, but having a bunch of writer joke Jerry Cornelius stories in what is ostensibly on the surface suggested to be an Elric collection = very bad idea. Throw in Glogauer, and even worse. Likely to annoy everyone, then.

A ship soon comes for him. 3.5 out of 5 Hawkmoon fancies Italian, and some hot pink flamingoes. 2 out of 5 Jerry, his pub, goth rock and Vampire LARP, with some surprised self-reference. 3 out of 5 An explorer named Bekk descends into trouble, but at World's End, discovers he is actually somewhat more of an Irsi. A Champion returns to deal with a Chaos Lord. 4 out of 5 A chaos demon tricks a callow Hawkmoon into confronting another Champion, but Urlik's recognition leads this to backfire, but not without cost. 3.5 out of 5 Some travellers in India gain Karl Glogauer as a companion. 2 out of 5 A Von Bek meets a devil of Lucifer in the pointless conflict of WWI and becomes a Grail defender. 3.5 out of 5 A young Jherek soirees through paleontology. 3 out of 5 Konrad: Cold draining. So are dolls. 3 out of 5 Glogauer: Space is big and black. Captain Obvious, him. 2.5 out of 5 A couple of minor Champion incarnations do some Balancing on Venice Beach. 3 out of 5 A wizard and his servant lay a trap for Elric. Yeah, mistake. Neither he nor Moonglum are what you call slow on the uptake. 3 out of 5 Even Elric is a little taken aback by cavalier griffin duo's comedy act, cat woman, and computer skeletons. 4 out of 5 Corpse to Cornenstein. 3 out of 5 Seduced into Stormbringerlessness. 3 out of 5 Future Cop Ultor Champion. 2.5 out of 5 Hollywood harem not as good as sister, but head certainly better than a load of writer guff. 2 out of 5 Bastable should shoot both writers in pubs and politician Beatles. 2.5 out of 5 Fought for Law, knife cranium. 3 out of 5
