Product Description

Product Description

In the seventeenth century, in an alternate universe, much of Europe, Asia, and the New World are part of an Empire ruled from England. The Order of Crown, Shield, and Dragon is a legion of special agents for the Crown: special emissaries in time of peace, and invincible warriors in more violent times. They carry special weapons: swords, each of which contains the soul of someone of great power. Even in the hands of a knight of the Order, even wielded in the cause of righteousness, a red sword is terribly dangerous to its owner and all around him. In less virtuous hands, a red sword is the most dangerous and powerful weapon known to mankind. Now, three knights of the Order have just tracked down a previously unknown red sword which was found on a Grecian shore, and which shows all signs of having been recently forged. Worse, the mind encased in the sword remembers that it was only one of many which were cached in the hold of a mysterious sailing ship, origin unknown.

4.0 out of 5 stars Arthur,Who?, 24 Nov 2008
By J. Finn "slightly funny" (ireland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Merlin was the vilest of mages,geneviere a harlot,lancelot a dupe,Arthur either merlins lapdog or the very worst of men, so the legends tell in the world of mordreds heirs where the age of reason died still born and magic rules.

not so much alternative history as alternative myth, yes all the usual props are here the peasant farm boy, the reluctant hereo, the stern knight the vile traitor and of course the magic sword. but set agaisnt the back ground where the grand daddy of all the cliches is getting a revamp lends a certain freshness and energy to proceedings.

definetely worth checking out even if you are unfamilar with the rest of this authors work or as in my case just not a huge fan this is still a decent well written read at least a 100 times more entairning then most of the garbage out there.

if you have a hankering for alternative histories or just like a good story there are a lot worse ways to spend your time.
