I Got Moorcock (or Another Book Review)

It's been a while since I've had an opportunity to do a book review, and since I'm contemplating reading Paradise Lost by John Milton in preparation for Lent, this may be the last one for a while.  Today, it's all about The Sailor on the Seas of Fate by Michael Moorcock, and I found this book to be a fairly easy read.  The book follows Elric, who is one of the Eternal Champions in Moorcock's series of books.  The Sailor on the Seas of Fate is actually the second of the Elric series, but can be read on its own, as Moorcock mentions in the introduction.  This book is actually divided into three parts: the future, the present, and the past.  The future part is the only one to feature the other three Eternal Champions and involves their adventure in trying put an end to Agak and Gagak.  The present sees Elric in a strange land fighting against a sorcerer that guards the Crimson Gate.  The past has Elric teaming with an explorer to seek out an uninhabited land for treasure.  The stories are actually tied in quite well, and though the book is only 160 pages long (as is the case with the small papaerback version you see here), it keeps the reader's attention and proves to be a fairly easy read, even with the strange wording that comes with the setting of an alternate universe.
