2 posts | 2 read | 2 to read

Michael Moorcock's Eternal Champion returns as Kane of Old Mars, a brilliant American physicist whose strange experiments in matter transmission catapult him across space and time to the Red Planet. Kane's is a Mars of the distant past -- a place of romantic civilizations, fabulous many-spired cities and the gorgeous princess Shizala. To win her hand and bring peace to Mars, Kane must defeat the terrible Blue Giants of the Argzoon, whose ravaging hordes threaten the whole planet!

City of the Beast | Michael Moorcock

so-so

If I'd read this when I bought it in 1981, I'd undoubtedly have rated it higher than my present 3🌟. As it is, I enjoyed it for its type, & Moorcock's unabashed borrowing wholesale from Edgar Rice Burroughs' A Princess of Mars. There are few surprises, but then I read it for that reason. Comfy slippers.

Moorcock doesn't take himself too seriously, & I had a chuckle at the name of the entrance to the Caves of Darkness: the Gates of Gord Elpus! 😄

Disengage brain and critical faculties, engage senses of wonder and of fun!

A pastiche of Edgar Rice Burroughs' Warlord of Mars books that has been on my tbr shelf for 39 years. I'm making steady inroads into the books I bought from the market as a kid and have lugged around with me for about three-quarters of my life 😊

Chrissyreadit That‘s awesome! I have a few books like that also! 4y

Leftcoastzen Great old cover ! I had a friend who was so into this author! 4y

Bookwomble @Chrissyreadit I've quite a few more to get through, myself! Mainly SF and fantasy. What was your younger self buying? 4y

Chrissyreadit @Bookwomble same- mostly Sci fi and fantasy. I read the Changeover by Margaret Mahy last year after 30 + years of having it. And I loved it! 4y
