Many of Moorcock's heroes are aspects of the Eternal Champion, a mystical figure resembling, though predating, Joseph Campbell's "Hero with a Thousand Faces". In times ranging from the sword-wielding, sorcery-ridden past to the post-nuclear future of the Tragic Millennium, Order and Chaos are elemental forces locked in perpetual battle. And at the center of that maelstrom is the Eternal Champion, fighting sometimes for Order, sometimes for Chaos, but always embattled and always crucial to the outcome of the nonetheless endless struggle.
I saw some interesting discussion on his books and short stories, which he inter-connected with this idea of the “Eternal Champion”. The presence of an interesting idea doesn’t guarantee a good book, so I’m wondering if anyone here can recommend him?
I don't know the details of the Champion and who qualifies. I don't know if Elric is part of that (Elric at least meet several versions of the Champion once, if he isn't a version himself). But the Elric books are fun and the Law/Chaos conflict is definitely a better alignment system for your D&D games than Good/Evil or the nine point grid.
