Product Description

Review
"From the building blocks of history and the mortar of reality, Jack Whyte has built Arthur's world and showed us the bone beneath the flesh of legend."--Diana Gabaldon
"The very best storytellers keep their readers glued to the story with plot, character, and a keen sense of the dramatic . . . . Whyte breathes life into the Arthurian myths by weaving the reality of history into it."--Tony Hillerman


Product Description
This is volume 2 of the Camulod Chronicles, telling of Roman soldiers, abandoned in England, faced with the choice of fleeing or struggling to create the last stronghold against barbarian onslaughts from the north and east.

5.0 out of 5 stars More of the King Arthur History With More To Come, 17 Dec 1998
By A Customer
When promised a history of King Arthur, some readers may expect the story in one book. If that's the case, don't bother with this series. If you're interested in King Arthur and, more importantly, the legends that surround him, pick up The Singing Sword and the previous installment The Skystone and start reading. You'll get the history you've been looking for and one heck of a story to go with it.

5.0 out of 5 stars And now a less bombastic take., 25 Jul 1998
By A Customer
I must first mention that I personally rate this book at four 1/2 stars(The Skystone being 5 stars). However,I will officially rate this book at five so I can offset the off base incomprehension in this forum. There is an unnervingly realistic human aspect to this story which many people do not find confortable to confront. When in denial of human fraility, it is easy to dismiss a story when the main character you are pulling for gives into a wretched temptation or goes along with activities that are contradictory to there moral inclination. I believe that Mr. Whyte's story is more then realistic historical fiction. It also is realistic human fiction. When a story conveys that kind of realism on both fronts, it makes for excellent reading. That is what sets these chronicles apart from most other Authurian fiction. Highly recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars Second Book in the Camulod Series, 12 Dec 2007
By J. Chippindale (England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   

Jack Whyte was born and raised in Scotland, but has lived in Canada for the last forty odd years. He is the author of the Camulod series of books and has just had published the first in a trilogy about probably the most famous Order of knights, ever to come through the pages of history, the Knights Templar.

The story takes place in the fifth century AD Britain an island that has all but cast off the yoke of the Romans. Occupiers for more than 400 years, they have brought much to the island, their roads have made travel that much more bearable and their buildings and public baths have brought a new and lawful way of life to a people the Roman's once called barbarians.

Those who initially resented the Roman's invasion have been moldering in their graves for centuries and in the south of the land the people are mostly Romano-Britains, many of whom mourn the passing of Roman law and authority along with the withdrawal of the Roman egions from Britain's shores.

Two Romans in particular, Publius Varrus and Caius Britannicus have made their homes in Britain and are determined to stay and are prepared to fight if necessary for their adopted land. Not everyone is sorry to see the Romans leave and many in the north of Britain see it as an opportunity to advance themselves . . .
