Tor Books. Good. 4.33 x 1.1 x 6.84 inches. Mass Market Paperback. 2007. 688 pages. <br>Beginning with The Skystone, the first in his rive ting Camulod Chronicles, Jack Whyte has embarked on an ambitious and remarkable re-telling of the Arthurian cycle, giving us a fre sh and compelling take on a story that has been beloved for centu ries. The Eagle brings us at last to the heart of the tale, the creation of fabled Camelot and the love story that enshrined its glory. Whyte takes us into the minds and lives of Arthur, Guinev ere, and Lancelot, three astonishing but fallible people who were bound together by honor, loyalty, and love. Three who created th e glory that was Britain's shining dream...and, some say, caused its downfall. The Gaulish nobleman Clothar?known in our time as Lancelot?is drawn to the young High King's court by tales of hon or and nobility, where he meets a man whose love of law matches h is own. More, he finds in Arthur a life-long friend whose dream o f uniting the people of Britain in peace Clothar embraces. And Cl othar meets Arthur's queen, a wondrous beauty whose passion and i deals match those of her husband. Together they work to bring Art hur's dream to life. But dark forces rise in opposition to Arthu r's plans for creating this noble island nation and it is hard to tell friend from foe in the swirling chaos that ensues. Many tal es have been told of the dream that shined and died. This one wil l astonish even the most jaded. Editorial Reviews Review As Wh yte waves off the fog of fantasy and legend surrounding the Arthu rian story, he renders characters and events real and plausible. ?Booklist A wonderful, rip-roaring journey down the road to Came lot and King Arthur, the way it really might have been. ?Robert J ordan A top-notch Arthurian tale forged to a sharp edge in the f ires of historical realism, Whyte focuses even more strongly on a sense of place, carefully setting his characters into their hist orical landscape, making this series more realistic and believabl e than nearly any other Arthurian epic. ?Publishers Weekly (starr ed review) on The Singing Sword It's one of the most interesting historical novels that I've ever read and I've read plenty. ?Mar ion Zimmer Bradley on The Skystone About the Author Jack Whyte is a Scots-born, award-winning Canadian author whose poem, The F aceless One, was featured at the 1991 New York Film Festival.
