An immortal Knight of the Round Table faces his greatest challenge yet—saving the politically polarized, rapidly warming world from itself—in this slyly funny contemporary take on Arthurian legend.Legends don’t always live up to reality.Being reborn as an immortal defender of the realm gets awfully tiring over the years—or at least that’s what Sir Kay’s thinking as he claws his way up from beneath the earth yet again.Kay once rode alongside his brother, King Arthur, as a Knight of the Round Table. Since then, he has fought at Hastings and at Waterloo and in both World Wars. But now he finds himself in a strange new world where oceans have risen, the army’s been privatized, and half of Britain’s been sold to foreign powers. The dragon that’s running amok—that he can handle. The rest? He’s... Another strength of the book is its thoughtful pacing. Moments of tension are balanced with quieter scenes that allow readers to process events and better understand character motivations. This rhythm prevents fatigue and keeps the narrative feeling dynamic throughout its length. The author shows restraint in the use of dramatic elements, choosing instead to focus on authenticity. Conflicts are grounded in realistic motivations, and resolutions feel proportional to the challenges presented. This grounded approach adds credibility to the narrative.
