Book Description
Excalibur Returned brings to life an Arthurian legend but in the 21st century. Christopher Parker is mild, meek, non-confrontational and dealing with an unfaithful wife who loathes her husbands lack of ambition, a daughter who thinks he is a wimp and a boss who suppresses his ideas and his advancement in the company. After inheriting a rapier, one of two, from his long time neighbor, he begins to exhibit untypical behavior as he faces challenges that life throws at him. He becomes more aggressive in his dealings, gregarious in his demeanor and decisive in confrontations. He becomes conscious of his appearance and is determined to do something about it. In addition to the rapier, he receives documentation that claims the rapiers origin to be Excalibur. He researches the legends and follows the trail laid out for him by the rapiers previous owner Niles McTavish, that provides additional proof, albeit circumstantial, attesting the claim.
Marcel Mouton is a black market weapons dealer and a successful antique dealer/collector. He possesses the other rapier and is convinced of the rapiers powers. He wants to own both and posses the full power that is Excalibur but must locate the present owner after having unsuccessfully attempting to acquire it from Niles.
