Summary
The ancient races, the Vadhagh and the Nhadragh, are dying. By creating Mankind, the universe has condemned Earth to a pestilence of destruction and fear.
Prince Corum is the last remaining Vadhagh. He sets out on a crusade of vengeance against the forces that slaughtered his family and his race, to challenge the unjust power of the puppet masters of Man: the Lords of Chaos. Along the way he will barter with his soul for the limbs of gods to repair his mutilated body and will encounter a member of the very race who caused the mutilation, the irresistible Rhalina....
Performed by Nanette Savard, Chris Genebach, Tracy Olivera, Nick DePinto, Evan Casey, Todd Scofield, Scott McCormick, Andy Clemence, Thomas Keegan, Ken Jackson, Bob Payne, Eva Wilhelm, Matthew Keenan, Richard Rohan, Patrick Bussink, Terence Aselford.

Intriguing and brilliantly acted
If you can stomach the posh narrator Corum’s ‘Oirish’ accent, the sudden dark turn the story takes not far into the narrative and a graphic torture scene that he endures near to the start of the story, and don’t mind a rather spontaneous love story, then you will absolutely enjoy this story of Prince Corum and his multiversal adventures to avenge his people and protect his great love from the trickery of chaos gods and barbarian hordes.
Highly enjoyable once I got more and more into Corum’s journey and very well voice acted with a high quality production value to it. Much better than I expected and will definitely get the next title in the series, of which to my surprise are about 5/6 in total!

A good starting place for the Moorcock Multiverse
Thoroughly enjoyed this read/listen. The story itself unfolds at a pretty quick pace and gets into the action before you know it. Nanette did a fantastic job as the main narrator, while I also enjoyed Chris Genebach as Corum. As someone who has recently started reading Elric of Melniboné stories, I felt like this was a great contrast to Elric's character.
Much like Elric, Corum is the last of his race, blessed with powers from gods old and new. But unlike Elric, Corum laments the death of his race, who were goodly, learned folk. If you like the idea of a bit more of a sympathetic protagonist in the Moorcock-verse, I recommend checking this out!

Great story. Horrible narration.
The narrator is the distractingly "posh". Really annoying. She chews up the pronunciation of some words so much, that you are left baffled as to how anybody could create a spoken word so far removed from its spelling.
It's like someone doing an act... badly. It sounds like the detestably fat-tongued Toyah Wilcox putting on a very bad "upper-crust" voice.

Fantastic rendition of a fantastic book. I last read it 36 years ago and this version didn't disappoint.
Excellent acting throughout. The only thing that puzzled me was the narrator's pronunciation of 'dais'. I even considered that it was a ridiculously advanced AI program. Queen of the Swords ⚔️ now. Blessed be. So mote it be

Excellent story
Takes a bit of getting used to, and excellent when you do. Anyone familiar with the tales of the Eternal Champion will recognise Corum, his refined esthetic and doom laden journey.

Great story and well dramatised
Did not anticipate Corum having a very ripe Oirish accent - unfortunately so angular that it never settles into the mix. Otherwise, great story and well dramatised

Terrible voice acting.
Terrible voice acting. They all sound like they have entered a "Worst Dick van Dyke Competition".

not Moorcock's best nor well executed
The narrator speaks as if trying to pass an elocution lesson which is very wearing to begin with. the actors are better. but this isn't Moorcock's best book. probably need to be a Moorcock fan before you start.
