The Quest for Excalibur by Fil Reid Pdf

Twelve years ago, 21st-century librarian Gwen decided to remain in the Dark Ages with the man she loves above all else - a man around whom endless well-known tales of legend and magic have been spun. King Arthur. Over the years, she's carved a life for herself by her husband's side, gently steering him in the direction she wants him to go, but always with an awareness that he's a Dark Age king with a Dark Age view of the world. Equipped with her prior knowledge of Arthurian legend, Gwen's sole aim has long been to save her husband from the legendary fate she dreads hangs over him. But always, at the back of her mind, is the nagging doubt that whatever she does is already set in stone, and nothing she can do will change his future which is already her past. Danger lurks in the most unexpected places, and long-hidden secrets threaten to rise to the surface. After a long, cold winter in their hilltop fortress, Gwen's pleased to welcome traveling players to Din Cadan. But these players are hiding secrets of their own, and one of them has come with black deeds in mind. Gwen will have to fight harder than she's ever done to save herself and thus her husband. And all evidence points to the hand of Morgana, Arthur's wicked sister, manipulating everything from afar. Throughout all of this, simmering in the background, is young Medraut, Arthur's nephew. Unnoticed, despite still being only a boy, he's been exerting his malignant influence over those around him, in particular, Gwen and Arthur's son and heir. But even Morgana can't prevent Gwen discovering the truth behind the story of Excalibur and setting the legendary sword in her husband's hands.

A Bibliography of Modern Arthuriana (1500-2000) by Ann F. Howey,Stephen Ray Reimer Pdf

Annotated bibliography of the Arthurian legend in modern English-language fiction, not only in literary texts, but in television, music, and art. The legend of Arthur has been a source of fascination for writers and artists in English since the fifteenth century, when Thomas Malory drew together for the first time in English a variety of Arthurian stories from a number of sources to form the Morte Darthur. It increased in popularity during the Victorian era, when after Tennyson's treatment of the legend, not only authors and dramatists, but painters, musicians, and film-makers found a sourceof inspiration in the Arthurian material. This interdisciplinary, annotated bibliography lists the Arthurian legend in modern English-language fiction, from 1500 to 2000, including literary texts, film, television, music, visual art, and games. It will prove an invaluable source of reference for students of literary and visual arts, general readers, collectors, librarians, and cultural historians--indeed, by anyone interested in the history of the waysin which Camelot has figured in post-medieval English-speaking cultures. ANN F. HOWEY is Assistant Professor at Brock University, Canada; STEPHEN R. REIMER is Associate Professor at the University of Alberta, Canada

Excalibur's Quest by Dietmar Arthur Wehr Pdf

In Scimitar’s Glory, the alien Tong won the Battle for Earth and took control of the orbital space around the planet. Humanity is now at their mercy, but not all Space Force warships have been defeated. Wolfe Koenig’s light cruiser, Excalibur, is on a mission to acquire technology that just might enable the ragged remnants of the Fleet to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat—if he can find an alien race with that technology, if he can convince them to trade for it and if the technology can be exploited fast enough. Excalibur’s Quest is the story of that mission and the challenges, both alien and human, that Koenig faces. This is the second book in the action-packed military SF Swordships Odyssey series.
