Just Read...

Sailor At The Seas of Fate, by Michael Moorcock

Book 2 in the Elric series.

Brief Summary: Elric has "temporarily" abdicated his throne in order to journey through the "Young Kingdoms" and find out more about himself and the world outside of Melnibone. He boards a vessel in order to escape pursuers and finds himself out at sea, adventuring through a different plane(s).This book takes a departure from the first--it's more esoteric (i.e. "out there"), with passages that may be dream sequences because of their really fantastical happenings. Elric's surroundings are very dream-like. Not my cup of tea (I preferred the first book) but still some good writing by Moorcock, especially the last half of the book.
