also The Ice Schooner - which contains one of his best heroes.   Much
more of a positive character than many of Moorcock's other heroes - his
decisions, however flawed, are made by him and not enforced by some
mysterious higher fate.   The Ice Schooner hero is actually one of the
few Moorcock characters (oops - do I talk sacrilige here?) that I've
ever felt genuine sympathy for.
