The Quest For Excalibur

What happens when the ghost of King Arthur returns to England in 1972.

Meet Mickey, an innocent, screaming that the emperor has no clothes. But no one hears, least of all George, the aristocrat. George has risen high and, with Bill, the guileful ruler, and the US Congress protecting him, his confidence swells. As it is, the circumstances of his life make him feel utterly safe and he becomes blind to the lurking dangers around him. Enter pragmatic Doug no-nonsense, down-to-earth and pesky. He's one who won't suffer fools and is determined to change the order of things. Now meet Carlo who sets his sights on greatness and Leon who has the audacity to oppose the daring Italian. With elements of the looming conflict in place, the plot rapidly unfolds. Leon joins forces with Doug and Jay Doug who is lording it over Bill and Jay who has the ear of President Reagan. A conspiracy is set in motion. The science community rumbles, with many crushed in the quaking earth. And the tale fate has writ plays out to its inevitable end.

King Arthur's ghost appears in twentieth-century England to search for Excalibur, and manages to save Princess Pamela from abdicating to marry an American.

In The Winter King and Enemy of God Bernard Cornwell demonstrated his astonishing ability to make the oft-told legend of King Arthur fresh and new for our time. Now, in this riveting final volume of The Warlord Chronicles, Cornwell tells the unforgettable tale of Arthur's final struggles against the Saxons and his last attempts to triumph over a ruined marriage and ravaged dreams. This is the tale not only of a broken love remade, but also of forces both earthly and unearthly that threaten everything Arthur stands for. Peopled by princesses and bards, by warriors and magicians, Excalibur is the story of love, war, loyalty, and betrayal-the work of a magnificent storyteller at the height of his powers.

Arthur Pendragon did not want any of this to happen, but fate had a different plan for him. The first part of a sci-fi version of the story of King Arthur. Unlike the 'traditional' tale of King Arthur, this one involves space travel, modern technology, and lots of drunk singing"--Back cover.
