A rousing postscript to Lawhead's bardic Pendragon Cycle . . . Playing off snappy contemporary derring-do against the powerful shining glimpses of the historical Arthur he created, Lawhead pulls off a genuinely moving parable of good and evil.'Â Publishers Weekly It has been foretold: In the hour of Britain's greatest need, King Arthur will return to rescue his people. In Portugal, the reprobate King Edward the Ninth has died by his own hand. In England, the British monarchy teeters on the edge of total destruction. And in the Scottish Highlands, a mystical emissary named Mr. Embries-better known as "Merlin"-informs a young captain that he is next in line to the throne. For James Arthur Stuart is not the commoner he has always believed himself to be-he is Arthur, the legendary King of Summer, reborn. But the road to England's salvation is dangerous, with powerful enemies waiting in ambush. For Arthur is not the only one who has returned from the mists of legend. And Merlin's magic is not the only sorcery that has survived the centuries.

For nearly two thousand years, the animosity between Sir Lancelot and King Arthur remains unsettled as they slumber restlessly in the dream dimension of the Morpheum, where sleeping beings remain bound to the earth by people's dreams and wishful fantasies. When they reemerge in the twenty-first century, King Arthur seeks justice for his betrayal while Sir Lancelot seeks vengeance for the persecution of Guinevere. Thus, the Roundtable Knights of Camelot are divided into civil war set against the backdrop of Baltimore, Maryland. One by one, the nobility of King Arthur's court "awaken" for the final judgment resulting from the love affair between the ordained protector of the Holy Grail Sir Lancelot, and Her Royal Highness Queen Guinevere. But in the midst of this volatile situation comes a dire message of great urgency from Queen Vivian, sovereign of mystic Avalon, that will forever change the course of Arthurian history.

This is the untold story of who Arthur, the ancient hero whose life gave rise to the myth of the Once and Future King, really was.

A “splendid” and witty take on the Arthurian legend by the acclaimed author of Little Big Man (The New York Times Book Review). The myth of King Arthur has been told countless ways since the sixth century, always combining action, adventure, romance, and tragedy. In Arthur Rex, Thomas Berger updates the legend in irreverent fashion, forever changing King Arthur and his Round Table. In Berger’s medieval England, the damsel in distress is never what she appears to be. Merlin is a wizard of a completely different stripe. Classic heroes and villains are vividly reimagined, breathing fresh life into a familiar story. Powerful, emotional, and at times laugh-out-loud funny, Arthur Rex is an unforgettable tribute to one of the most celebrated tales of all time. This ebook features an all-new introduction by Thomas Berger, as well as an illustrated biography of the author including rare images and never-before-seen documents from his personal collection.
