Hawkmoon: The Jewel in the Skull

The Jewel in the Skull | Michael Moorcock

pick

(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

Jabberwocky @LaurenReads @TobeyTheScavengerMonk Georgia got the all clear to come home tonight!! She's subdued but hopefully on the mend! 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. 💕🐶 7y

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. 7y

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) 7y

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. 7y

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. 7y
