Product Description

Product Description

This is volume one of the Camulod Chronicles. A retired centurion, now an ironsmith, finds the secret of the mysterious ore-bearing stones that fell "from the sky". This forges a link to a legend born two centuries later with the arrival of King Arthur.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perhaps not historically accurate, but a great read, 19 Aug 2000
By A Customer
I love this series of books. I was reading the report (by an American, would you believe it) who said the Camulod Chronicles were inaccurate. Maybe so.

But actually LIVING in Britain gives you a unique outlook on it. It is nice to here what Jack Whyte thinks of the area where I live, and despite some inaccuracies, it is very believeable.

Here, here to this book. If you live in the country, you'll like it. If somebody who can't spell colour correctly quibles over some small discrepancies, then they're taking literature too seriously.

5.0 out of 5 stars living inthe area, 6 Sep 2003
By R N DURRANT (Gosport, Hampshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
I am now starting to read the camulod series by Jack Whyte for the third time. I live in the country and area where Mr Whyte has based his books.I have been an avid reader of all things Athurian since i was a young boy and in my opinion Mr whyte has written the definitive version. It is very odd, but the only adverse comments that come from reveiwers of this series of books seem to originate from countries other than England. I as a native of Athurian country say learn our history live the English way ,adopt the way of life and try to understand that this must have been the way it was, Mallory was a romantic he wrote a novel for the period, today he would have been a Hollywood film director. where as Mr Whyte has approached the subject with objectivity and common sense. To my mind this series of books will become minor classics

5.0 out of 5 stars This maybe the greatest Aurthurian novel ever., 18 Jan 1999
By A Customer
I have never read a Arthurian book this good ever! It has excellent combat and the characters are very realistic. The main characters Publius Varrus and Caius Brittancius are so real that you come to know them like friends. Throughout the book there enemy Seneca has seemed to become my enemy too! This 1st book in the Camulod Chronicles or the Dream of Eagles in Canada is very well intertwined with historical fact from the perioud they live in roughly around the time just before the Roman legions leave Britain.

2.0 out of 5 stars overrated
I was disappointed by the very thin character development for female characters, and by very pompous and unnatural dialogue.
Definitely the male equivalent of romance fiction.
