5.0 out of 5 stars The Eagle has finally landed, 2 Nov 2008

By	R. N. Durrant - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Eagle (The Camulod Chronicles) (Hardcover)

Well I have finnally read the last book in the Arthurian series by Jack Whyte.This completes a story that has kept me enthralled for the last decade.Firstly may I offer my thanks to Mister Whyte and also my disappointment, that he did not expand his story to include Arthur's side of the story for I didn't expect to have the final episode told from Clothar's view, I also felt that not enough time was spent with Arthurs boyhood friends and their contributions to the tale. But does this leave scope for future episodes? I hope so.As has been suggested this series has not followed the many other versions of King Arthur, but I believe Mr Whyte has created a very believable work that will be as enduring as Mallory's Morte D'arthur. So to any newcomer to this work I would say read this series and be thoroughly enthralled and entertained

4.0 out of 5 stars Ninth in the Series, 12 April 2008

By	J. Chippindale (England) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER)

This review is from: The Eagle (The Camulod Chronicles) (Hardcover)

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.

This is the ninth volume in the continuation of the Camulod Chronicles a series of novels about the Arthurian legends. But anyone expecting the conventional, or Hollywood slant on the legend of Arthur, i.e. knights riding around on destriers in full body armour, something invented several hundred years after Arthur had gone to his grave, if he ever existed at all, will be in for a sharp shock.

The books are set in the 5th century AD a much more likely time for Arthur to have existed, a time when Britain, although free of the Romans, who had gone back across the channel to Rome, was still very much influenced by their occupation.

Granted Jack Whyte's version of the Arthurian legends does not sit well with everybody, but if you forget what you have read before about Arthur and after all that is only information published earlier by Sir Thomas Mallory and has very little credibility in historical terms, and treat the books on their own merits then many will find them not only readable, but also enjoyable.

The Eagle is the story of the beginning of the famous or infamous Camelot. It is the beginning of the love triangle that has come down through the mists of time, involving three people whose love for one another knows no bounds. Those people are Arthur, his wife Guinevere and Lancelot, a man who has found in Arthur a man whose ideals match his own. As the story progresses dark forces plot to stop Arthur from realizing his dream . . .

3.0 out of 5 stars Sorry to See the End, 15 April 2009

By	Kenneth J. Mcdonald "Sword and Sandal Kenny" (Dalkeith, Midlothian United Kingdom) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: THE EAGLE J (Camulod Chronicles) (Mass Market Paperback)

Sadly the chronicles come to an end. A truly gripping series from the very beginning. Sadly I felt that the last few chapters of theis book were very rushed, as if the author suddenly realised that the series had to be ended and swiftly. There was probably enough left to have completed an extra book in the series. A fair number of loose ends were left untied and even key moments of interest were given a couple of sentences of explanation. Thouroughly enjoyed the series as a whole however this last book I found to be the least satisfying. All in all I am now a big Jack Whyte fan.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good yarn
As usual Jjack Whyte tells a good tale, even if some of the "history" is rather flawed.
