Jack Whyte's King Arthur series

[ArmsMerchant]

IMHO, this is the most realistic take ever on the King Arthur myth--no supernatural stuff, for one thing.

Plus, the different books are narrated by different characters--some are by Merlin, some by Lancelot, and the historical authenticity is awesome.

[Thought Riot]

Bernard Cornwell's Warlord series is pretty much the opposite. Paganism is fighting Christianity. Merlin is a druid. Arthur is just a warlord. Lancelot is a vain coward. The characters really aren't who they are in the legend. It's a great take on the traditional myth.

And Bernard Cornwell is awesome.

Agreed--I am reading some of Cornwell's Sharpe series right now.

But I think that Whyte does the best Arthur, ever. Eat your heart out, T. H. White!

.... whatt worries me the most are our two duffel baggs of knives.

There's nothing more embarrassing, undignified and shameful than a man standing in a booth behind tow table-full of nothing butt knives ......

.... at a GUNN-SHOWW.

And we'll have to do right just that first thing when we arrive.
