For collectors and readers and anyone that enjoys Michael Moorcock's finest novels in the fantasy and science fiction genre. The novel is set at some indeterminate time in a post-nuclear holocaust future, where science and sorcery co-exist and the Dark Empire of Granbretan (Great Britain) is expanding across Europe. This book is the very first of the Dorian Hawkmoon series in the four volume saga of the History of Runestaff. Michael Moorcock, a writer known as a true trailblazer, breaking the old rules and cliches of conventional fantasy and science fiction. Known as anti-J.R.R Tolkien, inspired by Robert E Howard's Conan and Edgar Rice Burroughs pulp (he was editor of a early Tarzan fanzine), this is one of Moorcocks most original and finest novels. Cover art by legendary artist Gray Morrow. Not a facsimile, ex-library or Lodestone reprint issue. All pages crisp and intact, a solid and tight copy. Pulp paperback with creases and micro-chips through out, light rubbing on spine and covers typical of paperback pulps of this age of 50+ years, only lightly read before and still in good shape for its age. MICHAEL MOORCOCK JEWEL IN THE SKULL HAWKMOON FIRST EDITION RARE.
