First and foremost let it be known to those rabid fans out there that I haven't read much beyond this book and the Elric series. All I can really say as such is that enigma reigns supreme in a book I thought would be far more enlightening as to the state of the multiverse. I guess I have to read the White Wolf paperbacks. I enjoyed the book in and of itself only as much as I would enjoy a toss off read. (Maybe I need to read it again.) It seemed to lack some of the awesome philosophical insights that so cleverly haunted the better parts of the Elric Saga. I should refer to it best as a preview of things to come as I'm sure that's what I'll see it as upon reading the further adventures of John Daker/Erekose in the WW paperbacks.

This novel picks up where "The Eternal Champion" left off. Erekose (a.k.a. John Daker) has finally found happiness with his true love Ermizhad . . . but for how long?

Of course, soon he is swept away to another part of the multiverse to save the day as the eternal champion named Count Urlik Skarsol. The story adds noteable details to the multiverse concept, the nature of the eternal champion, and his nemesis/ally, the black sword.

Also, the book is a good, fast read with great images and nice studies of the supporting characters.

I first read this book when I was in 8th grade. The book was given to me by a friend and i loved it. that was 13 years ago and i've read it twice since and many other books from Michael Moorcock and i've enjoyed them all. if you have a chance to read this one i'm sure you'd enjoy it and the rest like it including the Elric series and others.

I have probably read all the Elric books and this book still impressed me just the same. If you like Elric or the other eternal champion books you will enjoy this one.
As an observation to the other reviews, I think it is strange to say you like the Elric books and yet not like this one.

Get this book if you can. You will not regret it.

This is really a bad book ..., I wonder if someone ghost wrote it. It is flat boring and depresing. There is no fun. horrible. I...Moorcock can be the #1 writer of sword n sorcery when he's on, ....

.... Moorcock usually get me into his writing when describing the baddies and their plots. There is too much simplicity in thsi eries and it is too quickly ended. ...
