Comments: Tanelorn, the City of Eternal Peace, is under attack. It is all-out war as the forces of Chaos storm Tanelorn, a place of Law. Elric and others defend it across different places in space and time. Hawkmoon, Corum, and Beck all fight alongside Elric against countless supernatural creatures and the armies of Chaos. The four men fight to maintain the Balance between Chaos and Law.
The characters are illustrated in a way that clearly shows they are warriors. The monsters are nightmarish, and the adventure is challenging, as everyone is fighting for what they most hold dear.
The four Champions must journey to the center of the universe aboard the Spammer Gain, an amazingly designed spaceship captained by Captain Wilhemina Roberta Begg, also known as Billy-Bob.
The four Eternal Champions confront two Gods as they play a game, a game that will destroy worlds. The two Gods bring both the armies of Law and Chaos together to battle it out, with only one side surviving. This is a battle the likes of which has never been seen. A force of Eternal Champions is added to the conflict, and both Law’s and Chaos’s forces are increased.
Elric, Corum, Hawkmoon, and Beck must figure out how to restore the Balance.
The fighting is fierce, and the way all the Eternal Champions battle on is inspiring. No matter the odds, they never stop. When there is no way to win, they find one and continue.
For most, the fighting is over, yet Elric moves on to his next adventure.
