The King of the Swords

An interesting conclusion to the Trilogy of The Sword Rulers. Corum again wishing only to live in peace finds that he's not to be allowed that simple luxury. This series opened up for me much more of the Eternal Champion Cycle. The first book in the Cycle I found was Jewel in the Skull, a Hawkmoon novel. After this, years later I found the Corum novels. In this novel we'll get a look (for me my introductory look) at more of the Cycle, other incarnations of The Champion, a "place" or "situation" we'll come across often later in other books and of course, the Eternal Champion's trademark fatalistic fate...Again as in the earlier volumes of this trilogy I like and recommend the book. I think you'll find the conclusion interesting. In my case I sort of came in contact with the Eternal Champion books out of order, even in the wrong or unintended order. I like many of them and think it's a good idea. At the time it was an original idea as it hadn't been done a lot. So again, no blanket endorsement on Mr. Moorcock's books, but I can recommend this book and this trilogy.
