A great read, don't miss it!

This book is the first of three stories Moorcock wrote about the "John Daker" character, who is doomed to travel through time and space, inhabiting the bodies of different heroes for just long enough to resolve whatever current crisis looms. If you like reading books like this "in order," as I do, you'll want to continue on with the other two John Daker books: The Silver Warriors, and then the Dragon in the Sword.The Eternal Champion is not only the starting point of Moorcock's entire eternal champion series, it is also the first book he ever conceived. The story is more straightforward than many of his later novels, but contains the seeds of all the fantastic notions Moorcock introduced to the sci fi/fantasy genre. Here are the first explanations of the concept of "multiple universes" and folding space, all wrapped up in a great narrative story with well developed characters.These books are all quick reads, yet very enjoyable. I found myself very much caught up in the plot and I find the John Daker/Erekose character much more sympathetic than Elric, Moorcock's most popular hero. There's even a great love story that carries through to many of his other novels. I highly recommend that any fan of fantasy read this one.
