Reviews
"Transcends sword and sorcery and steps into the mythic levels of action, deceit, and deities ... It should go without saying that Michael Moorcock's writing is second to none. He is the eternal champion of sword and sorcery writing, and it is a treat to anyone interested in this genre to be able to access these collections" - But Why Tho
