Phil Patrick Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 This one is fiction. It is called "The Skystone" by Jack Whyte. Pretty neat take on the Arthurian legend. It is really a nice mix of historical fiction plus the start of the Arthur legend. It is set in England, end of Roman occupation. The lead in the story is a former soldier, gone back to his original occupation as a blacksmith. My description does not do the book any credit. It is the first of a series that Whyte wrote. Very nice indeed. Enjoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Patrick Posted January 17, 2008 Author Share Posted January 17, 2008 I would agree, very nicely done. If you like that genre of books, try Bernard Cornwell's series about the Arthurian legend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
