Picked this up today:
 His spin on the Arthurian story was pretty damn special and steeped in realism. This is set in Britain around the time of the viking invasions. I am so looking forward to this. I have an obsession with dark-ages Britain.

DAVID GEMMELL- anything by him. i love his stuff. PIERS ANTHONY-his INCARNATIONS OF IMMORTALITY series is excellent. BERNARD CORNWELL-the Arthurian trilogy is probably the best retelling ever written. Bold gritty and bloody. Also try STONEHENGE. STEVEN LAWHEAD-His TALIESIN trilogy links the Atlantis and Arthurian trilogies.

As they faced one another in a duel of survival, the Roman tribune Marcus Scaurus held the spell-scribed sword of a Druid priest, and the Celtic chieftain Viridovix held a similar sword, bespelled by a rival Druid sorcerer. At the moment they touched, the two found themselves under a strange night sky where no stars were familiar and where Gaul and Rome were unknown. They were in an outpost of the embattled Empire of Videssos—in a world where magic and dark sorcery would test their skill and courage as no Roman legion had ever been tested before. I'm currently reading Krispos Rising also by Harry Turtledove. Set in the Empire of Videssos, but about 500 or so years before the events in the Videssos Cycle series. |
