AvonVilla finished reading The History of the Runestaff by Michael Moorcock
An evil British empire sets out to conquer the last pockets of continental Europe under its control. A hero from a German territory joins in the defence of the last holdout, the Kamarg. It's a fantastic (in both senses of the word) inversion of the events of WW2. Dorian Hawkmoon doesn't quite have the charisma as Moorcock's other eternal champions Elric and Corum, but the marvelously malign Granbretan, its bizarre ruler and its deranged generals more than make up for it. In my opinion this series is more enjoyable than the more famous Elric.
