5.0 out of 5 stars Long Live Gloriana, Queen of Albion! Jan 24 2004
By OAKSHAMAN
Format:Paperback
If I could only have one volume of Moorcock in my library, I do believe that this would be it. I have heard this exquisite fantasy compared with Peake's Ghormanghast- except that an American will find Gloriana actually readable and enjoyable.

I can't think of a richer fantasy world encompased in a single self-sufficient novel. And while it is fantasy, it is not sugar-sweet and naive, it is fantasy most worldly and sophisticated. This global Elizabethan empire is quite convincingly atmospheric, as is London and the great palace itself. You want it to exist, hell, you want to go there.

You would not hesitate to pledge fealty to Gloriana the First, Queen of Albion, Empress of Asia and Virginia. You want to believe in the ideal she represents, in a world that would otherwise redescend into darkness and madness....

3.0 out of 5 stars Not Free SF Reader Sep 23 2007
By Blue Tyson - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Gloriana is unfulfilled in that she can't easily get her rocks off, no matter how many bed warmers, gorgeous maids, or sex slaves she has. Even half-men/apes don't necessarily do it.

Her inattention leaves a fair burden on a couple of her employees, one of whom decides to use this for his own rise to power, and to get rid of the queen and destroy her empire.
