I grew up reading stories about King Arthur and the knights of the round table. I loved those stories and, to be honest, was hesitant about reading this book because I was resistant to any new stories, especially a science fiction story. Boy was I wrong and boy am I glad I read this! The author, C. N. Lesley, does a fabulous job mixing fantasy and science fiction with the Arthurian theme. She breaths new life into a classic character while remaining true to the spirit, passion, and values portrayed in the classic tales. Lesley’s prose is masterful. Her descriptions place you solidly in the scenes and the characters come to life in your mind. There is plenty of action and adventure, along with the other important human elements. If you are anything like me you won’t stop reading until it is done. I highly recommend this story and intend to look for other books by C. N. Lesley!
