Bernard Cornwell St. Martin's Press (hardcover, 436 pages, $24.95 US) Publication date: May 18, 1998 The third novel and final novel in The Warlord Chronicles, sequel to The Winter King and Enemy of God, returns us to Dark Age Britain. The great druid Merlin, convinced that the ancient gods are fleeing Britain in the face of Christianity, fears now that the invading Saxons can't be defeated without the gods' help. The cruel Mordred reigns with a brutal hand, and Arthur risks seeing his dreams of peace die at last. According to reviewer Neil Walsh, "Excalibur offers a satisfying conclusion to the tragic story... an exceedingly well-written account of the last chapters of the Arthurian legend. The description of the petty in-fighting among the Britons after the battle of Mount Badon, for example, is brilliantly done, as it is comical and tragic at the same time... Cornwell has a knack for creating realistic and sympathetic heroes, as well as cruel villains to make the reader tremble with rage." Review by Neil Walsh The Warlord Chronicles Series Review by Neil Walsh | |

Ronald Anthony Cross Tor (reprint, trade paperback, 426 pages, $15.95/$21.95 Can) Publication date: May 5, 1999 (First Edition: June 1998) If you like your fantasy fast, funny, and complex, The Eternal Guardians saga may be exactly what's been missing from your life. "In the time of legends, Hephaestus, smith of the gods, wrought a stone of astonishing power and gave it to the Greeks. Theseus broke the eternal stone in four and gave each piece to a Guardian. History has never been the same. It was the Guardians who made Atlantis sink; they spread the bubonic plague; and a Guardian was the Ubermensch behind the Third Reich. Of the first Guardians, only Roman gladiator Corbo has survived to maintain the balance of history. Now, as Corbo juggles the scales of power in several eras at once, new young Guardians try to master the stones. Corbo has uncovered a Nazi threat -- centuries ago! But he's tired of saving the world, and two wannabe Guardians are stuck in a medieval England where witches rule and the local inn has modern plumbing. While Cobra is busy freeing King Henry from medieval Nazis, the wannabes are doing the only smart thing: inventing the blues to foment revolution." | |
