Michael Moorcock would have you believe that the Eternal Champion is the pawn of Chaos, or Law, or the Balance, or some other supernatural force. Well, it turns out that this so-called supernatural force is actually the whims of the author himself. In Count Brass, there are collected the latter three Hawkmoon books: Count Brass, The Champion of Garathorm, and The Quest for Tanelorn. Moorcock forces poor Dorian Hawkmoon to face all manner of trials, including the loss of his wife, the loss, once again, of his dear friends, the loss of his children, and even the loss of his identity. While the end of each novel takes away a huge chunk of hope, Moorcock also leaves the reader with a glimpse of hope. And eventually, he leaves the Champion with more control of his own destiny than he’s ever before had. This volume marks an excellent bookend to the chronicles of the Eternal Champion, and while it seems an end, we all know that if there is a wildly successful story or intriguing cast of characters, the story is never truly over.

I had recently finished up the first four Hawkmoon books and thought that I'd just go ahead with the Hawkmoon cycle. It wasn't until the end of [The Quest for Tanelorn] that I realized that this wasn't just the end of the Hawkmoon cycle, but the end of the entire Eternal Champion cycle. I probably should have read them in order, but I just didn't know what kind of problems I'd be causing by jumping out of sequence. Oh well - I guess I need to go backfill my Eternal Champion reading now. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

In the epic saga, we find Dorian Hawkmoon and his beloved Yisselda five years after the defeat of the evil empire of Granbretan.

But the dead count returns and seeks to avert the death he met in the Battle of Londra by slaying the one who led him there -- Dorian Hawkmoon, Duke of Koln. This is the final volume in the acclaimed Eternal Champion series by Michael Moorcock. The series has collected, in newly edited and rewritten form, all the tales of various incarnations of this fantasy master's most famous meta-character, the Eternal Champion.
