description: A myth-maker, an epic fantasist - The TimesElric of Melniboné, last of the emperors of a once mighty land, self-exiled bearer of the sword of power called Stormbringer, found a ship wreathed in mist waiting for him on an alien seashore.When he boarded the mysterious vessel, he learnt from his shadowy captain that he was to serve a strange quest side by side with other heroes from other times. For this ship sailed no earthly waters. These warriors and champions fought sorcerers and demons in a journey spanning seas that seemed to connect not continents and coastlines but whole eras and different worlds. For they were sailors on the seas of fate...Brilliant, fantastic talent for combining science, philosophy, art, technology, social and moral dilemmas, sex, sociology and psychology... - Sunday TimesFront cover illustration by Melvyn Grant.
