Summary: PG Woodhouse at the End of Time
Comment: Treading water between epics, Michael Moorcock here offers us a collection of five short (ish) stories, all taking place within the decadent setting he first introduced to us in "The Dancers at the End of Time" cycle. These stories all span the same time period as the above collection, and take place during Jherek Carnelian and Amelia Underwood's voyages away from the end of time. Consequently neither of them feature in any of the narratives, apart from the odd line of dialogue referring to them. This collection has been described as Woodhouse crossed with Brecht. Certainly there is a lightness of touch here but unfortunately the writing style starts to feel a little laboured by the time you get to the fourth, and longest, segment. Keep going, though - the last story, Elric at the End of Time, is very funny, reveals several interesting new facts about the multiverse, and serves to confirm this collection's place in the 'Eternal Champion' cycle.

Summary: Good interlude
Comment: This is a good interlude in a long series. Like its companion, Dancers at the End of Time, it represents a light harted interlude in what can be a very heavy series of stories. Overall, enjoyable but you can skip it if you want to save time or money on this series.
Rating: 2
Summary: Weak but enlightening to Elric fans!
Comment: Moorcock doesn't live up to expectations in this, his weakest work of the Eternal Champion series. Moorcock attempts to explore the human lack of self confidence in most of these semi-related stories but falls short. I can only speculate as to why. I think one contributing reason is he choses a women to voice her self doubt and a writer needs to write what HE knows.
However, Elric fans might be interested in the last chapter (blood and souls for Arioch). To understand the full meaning you need to read Vol. 10 "The Dancers at the End of Time" first.
