Swearing an oath by the mystical and mythical Runestaff to destroy his enemies, Moorcock explains that such an oath can only end in one of two ways, granting Meliadus’s oath or a complete reversal, seeing Meliadus suffer the fate he wished on his enemies. ![]() The real activity of the novel is set in motion by Baron Meliadus of Kroyden, who finds himself opposed to both Count Brass and Hawkmoon. A fourth character is Duke Dorian Hawkmoon of Köln.Ī rebel against the mighty and decadent Granbretan Empire, whose citizens wear ornate masks to indicate which caste they belong to, Hawkmoon is taken captive early in the four book series and sent to spy on the equally rebellious Count Brass of the Kamarg, a gemstone embedded in Hawkmoon’s forehead to ensure his loyalty to the Empire, which provides the title for the first novel, The Jewel in the Skull. At the top of the hierarchy is the moody, congenitally weakened albino Elric, but equally notable are the angst-ridden final survivor of his race Corum and the confused Erekosé, pulled from his comfortable life as John Daker. While this isn’t in and of itself unusual–other authors have had similar periods of prolificacy–Moorcock created several highly memorable, even iconic, characters during this time. In the 1960s, Michael Moorcock published a vast quantity of novels in a relatively short span of time. ![]()

King later described the fundamental difference between the cold and warmth of the two creator's visions by how they destroyed the Overlook. In the film, Nicholson played an unsettling character who acted as if he had been awakened by entering the Overlook rather than corrupted. These same flaws allowed him to become a puppet to the Overlook's spirits, who only wanted his son, Danny, because of his powerful psychic abilities. In the book, Jack was a warm and sympathetic character who had relatable flaws. Jack became another focal point for King's unhappiness. Instead, the film showed Jack Nicholson's Jack Torrance as a vessel for these spirits to feed off of. King respectfully disagreed and said, "What about Hell?" to which Kubrick replied, "I don't believe in Hell." To King, the existence of the Overlook Hotel's spirits negatively affected the Torrance family, conveying the idea that the Overlook was their Hell. 1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Before Doctor Sleep, there was The Shining, a classic of modern American horror from the undisputed master, Stephen King. Kubrick believed that the admission of spirits implies the film has a more optimistic tone because the presence of ghosts suggests the existence of heaven. ![]() ![]() ![]() Despite its Razzie award nominations, Stanley Kubrick’s legendary film adaptation featuring Jack Nicholson and Shelley Duvall only helped push the novel’s fame and notoriety, knows ScreenRant.

Gods and Generals is, however, fun to read. One can not imagine the professional military graduate schools using this as required reading, as in fact they have done with The Killer Angels. Battle details, while not entirely absent, are not a main focus of this work. It covers the span of time from late in 1858, when the war had become all but inevitable, to June 1863, just before the Battle of Gettysburg. The son’s book is fundamentally different from the father’s. Is Gods and Generals as good as The Killer Angels? I think not, but it is nonetheless quite enjoyable and stands as a worthy tribute by a son to his father. We may hope that Maxwell will want to produce a movie based on Gods and Generals. Ronald Maxwell, director of the movie Gettysburg, which was based on Michael Shaara’s The Killer Angels, was the prime instigator of the younger Shaara’s efforts toward his new novel. Gods and Generals by Jeff Shaara is the “prequel” to his late father’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel The Killer Angels.
