title: The White Wolf's Son: The Albino Underground (Elric Saga)
author:  Michael Moorcock 
description: Starred Review. In British author Moorcock's latest installment in an epic fantasy saga that began in 1965, Prince Gaynor the Damned and his sidekick, Klosterheim, plot the end of the created universe and try to capture a 12-year-old English girl, Oonagh von Bek, to attain their ends. The Dreamthief's daughter, Oona (who's Oonagh's grandmother); Elric of Melnibon; and others who constantly fight to restore, maintain and sometimes destroy the Cosmic Balance seek to protect the girl and, eventually, another youngster kin to Elric and Oona. Told from the viewpoint of young Oonagh and filtered through her later adult perspective, the adventure starts in Yorkshire then spans the multiverse and several versions of Mirenburg to reach its climax in the Dark Empire of Granbretan. Informative philosophizing by various characters adds to, rather than impedes, the complex and entertaining plot. In lesser hands such intrusions as Una Persson's spiel on Elric's Dream of a Thousand Years probably wouldn't work, but from the ever original, vastly influential Moorcock (<i>The Dreamthief's Daughter</i>), they only enhance a triumph of mature talent and imagination. <br />Copyright  Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.

  Ox was twelve when his daddy taught him a very valuable lesson. He said that
  Ox wasn’t worth anything and people would never understand him. Then he left.
  
  
  Ox was sixteen when he met the boy on the road, the boy who talked and talked
  and talked. Ox found out later the boy hadn’t spoken in almost two years
  before that day, and that the boy belonged to a family who had moved into the
  house at the end of the lane.
  
  
  Ox was seventeen when he found out the boy’s secret, and it painted the world
  around him in colors of red and orange and violet, of Alpha and Beta and
  Omega.
  
  
  Ox was twenty-three when murder came to town and tore a hole in his head and
  heart. The boy chased after the monster with revenge in his bloodred eyes,
  leaving Ox behind to pick up the pieces.
  
  
  It’s been three years since that fateful day—and the boy is back. Except now
  he’s a man, and Ox can no longer ignore the song that howls between the
