A review by markhodderauthor
The History of the Runestaff by Michael Moorcock

5.0

In some respects, you could say that this is Moorcock on autopilot. He knew exactly how to do what he wanted to do, and he did it at extreme speed. Yet what comes out of this is a saga that kept me hooked from beginning to end. Not only that, but over the years I must have revisited this story at least four times. Hawkmoon is like the essence of Moorcock. Moorcock distilled. An opulent, fast-moving, highly inventive tale of heroes versus villains. I love it.
