The Disinherited #2
Legacy
Lt. Robert Sarnac thought the space academy had prepared him for anything. . . .
A quick dazzling smile and Artorius was gone, riding along the lines and acknowledging cheers. Sarnac was left gaping after him, with barely enough time to settle back into position in line before the shrill, barbaric horns sounded again and the Visigothic cavalry broke into a charge.
Spreading his feet a little wider apart and waiting to receive heavy shock cavalry, Sarnac subvocalized (sheer habit, in this rising thunder of hooves) into his implant communicator. "Tylar, I'm sure you've got the situation well in hand. But whatever it is you're planning, now's the time."
There was no reply. He again made the motion that activated the comm link, confirming that it was already functioning.
"Tylar, this isn't funny! Talk to me!"
Dead silence inside his skull.
"Tylar Tylar !"
Then the Visigoths were on them.

October 21, 2021I lost interest in this series around the 40 percent mark. The prologue made zero sense. Now, I'll admit that had I finished the book, it may have made sense eventually, but oh well.

This book is the second in the Disinherited series. It takes place 200 years after the story in "The Disinherited". Earth is in the middle of a major war with a fragment of the former Korvaashi empire. On a fringe world a survey team from earth runs into explorers from Raehan and an enemy force of Korvaashi. Escaping the Korvaashi they flee to Earth to report the Korvaashi menace and to introduce Earth's new allies, the Raehan. Unknown to them the Korvaashi are hot on their trail. They are captured by the Korvaashi and then the Korvaashi ship encounters a temporal anomaly which transports them into another time where they meet and advanced ship of humans from the distance future. After being freed from the Korvaashi's these advanced humans transport them back to the time of King Arthur as observers. Thing don't quite as expected however. A great blend of Space Opera/Time Travel and historical fiction. I recommend this book and series.

A really confusing mashup of SF, time travel and Arthurian fantasy which fails to be convincing in any of these roles. At times quite entertaining, but would be more convincing as a stand-alone novel instead of being enjoined on by the backstory of the preceding novel.
