Hawkmoon: The Jewel in the Skull
Hawkmoon: The Jewel in the Skull | Michael Moorcock
6 posts | 6 read | 3 to read
Fantasy legend Michael Moorcock won hundreds of thousands of readers with his vast and imaginative multiverse, in which Law and Chaos wage war through endless alternative universes, struggling over the fundamental rules of existence. Moorcock's heroes of the multiverse have been lauded as some of the most influential characters in fantasy. Among the Eternal Champions, Dorian Hawkmoon is one of the most loved. In the far future, Hawkmoon is pulled unwillingly into a war that will eventually pit him against the ruthless Baron Meliadus and the armies of the Dark Empire. Antique cities, scientific sorcery, and crystalline machines serve as a backdrop to this high adventure. Dorian Hawkmoon, the last Duke of Koln, swore to destroy the Dark Empire of Granbretan. But after his defeat and capture at the hands of the vast forces of the Empire. Hawkmoon becomes a puppet co-opted by his arch nemesis to infiltrate the last stronghold of rebellion against Granbretan, the small but powerful city of Kamarang. He's been implanted with a black jewel, through whose power the Dark Empire can control his every decision. But in the city of Kamarang, Hawkmoon discovers the power inside him to overcome any control, and his vengeance against the Dark Empire is filled with an unrelenting fury.

The Jewel in the Skull | Michael Moorcock

Pickpick

(1977, original edition 1967)

First in Moorcock's series featuring Hawkmoon, a warrior in a post-apocalyptic pseudo-medieval Germany, fighting the evil empire of Granbretan. Loved this -- it's pulpy fantasy adventure that knows exactly what it's about. Looking forward to the next.

This was my #DoubleSpin read for March

RamsFan1963 I've read Moorcock's books about Corum and Elric but not Hawkmoon. I'll have to stack this for future reading. 8mo

Afternoon ramen bowl, Vimto cola, and Moorcock's first Hawkmoon book, The Jewel in the Skull, being The First Volume in the High History of the Runestaff, which is another way of saying Nerd Heaven! 🤓
I last read this series 40 years ago, and have moved them around the country ever since. Time to see if all that packing and unpacking was worth it! 🤞🏻
Though Bob Haberfield's cover art for these editions is, alone, probably worth it.

Our poor pup is still in the hospital. I'm so worried for her but so grateful for the love our kittens have been showering on me lately. I'm also appreciating this super immersive novel- it's a great thing to take me out of the moment and out of my anxiety. 😔 #littenkitten #scifi #love #distraction #catsoflitsy

Lauren_reading Poor pup, hope things get better!! 7y
TobeyTheScavengerMonk Still sending good thoughts your way. What's the pup's name? 7y

Sitting in the vet hospital with my very very sick puppy and trying to stop myself from worrying with this sweeping scifi about war and heroes on some far off version of Earth. If anyone wants to send prayers/good vibes/positive energy our way we need it. 🐶😰 #scifi #sickdog #dogsoflitsy #goodvibes

Bookzombie Sending good vibes and positive energy your way. I hope your puppy is okay. 💕🐶 8y
Jabberwocky @Bookzombie deeply appreciated. She's hospitalized for now, but they think it's an abscess in her pancreas. It's terrifying because we love her so much. 8y
TobeyTheScavengerMonk A. That Hawkmoon looks fantastic. I have the Von Bek collection from that exact line of Moorcock books. B. Sending all good thoughts your way and hoping all will be well. (edited) 8y
Jabberwocky @TobeyTheScavengerMonk A. So far is is amazing and I kind of have this urge to buy everything he's ever written?! 🤔 B. It looks like she's gonna be okay, she staying in hospital for a few days though. 8y
TobeyTheScavengerMonk Very glad to hear about your pup. Our little furry guy had extensive liver surgery at a young age and I remember how brutal the wait was. 8y
