message 1: by Doc (new)

Doc Ezra (doc_ezra) | 8 comments The "Eternal Champion" champion series includes the wrong book (with the same title as the correct one)

Actual Eternal Champion #11 (currently does not display as part of the series:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/8...

Current (erroneous) Eternal Champion #11
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

Note that the second listed "Stealer of Souls" *is* correctly listed as first in the "Chronicles of the Last Emperor of Melnibone" series. It is not part of the Eternal Champion series of omnibuses.

Empress (the_empress) But is the second book part of the Eternal Champion universe?

Also do you have a link to a publisher/author website with the books in this series listed?


message 3: by Doc (new)

Doc Ezra (doc_ezra) | 8 comments Second book is part of the broader Eternal Champion universe that Moorcock created, yes. Just not #11 in that particular series of omnibuses.

The publisher site no longer lists these (it was a short-lived fiction arm of a gaming publisher). LibraryThing has this: https://www.librarything.com/series/T...

We cannot use LibaryThing as a source of book data.

Doc Ezra (doc_ezra) | 8 comments The publisher is entirely out of business...does this mean there's no way to get the information corrected?

Does the author have a website with the series information?

The author has the original, individual titles on his site, but these books have been published and republished in a number of different collections and omnibuses. A series of 15 omnibuses were published by White Wolf in the 90s, containing some 40-50 of the author's works. The top link in my original post was Volume 11 of that series of omnibuses. The currently listed #11 (second link) is from an entirely different series of omnibuses in different order and with different content. Unfortunately, White Wolf no longer exists in the same form (having been purchased by CCP some years ago, and reference to their fiction arm is gone from their site.

I'm afraid if the author or publisher website are the only valid sources, then this will have to remain erroneous, as neither of those sites are going to provide the information you're looking for.

Jacqueline Smith | 16 comments Hello! My name is Jacqueline E. Smith and my new book, Boy Band, came out yesterday. It ends on a bit of a cliffhanger, so I'd like to make it known that this is, in fact, the first book in a series. Is there a way to make this Boy Band (Boy Band, Book 1)? Thank you so much!
