The Camelot Wars #1
Excalibur
In a long ago and forgotten age, the great King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table fought against the evil forces of the sorceress Morgana. The battles were brutal, and victory came at price. King Arthur died.
Merlin, in his grief and fearing that the evil Morgana would one day rise again, cast his most powerful spell ever. A spell that bound the souls of Arthur and his valiant knights to that of Morgana’s, if the Sorceress came back…Arthur and his knights would be reborn.
Centuries later, Morgana has returned.
Her first attack was a red fog that traveled around the globe wiping out all modern technology. Computers, automobiles, firearms, and communications went down immediately. Countries fell as the world once again found itself in the Middle Ages.
Her next attack came in a green fog that carried her soldiers. Without modern weapons, the world stood little chance.
Now her forces travel the world searching for Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. Morgana seeks to end Arthur’s life before he can claim the magical sword, Excalibur, and unite the people against her.
In a small town in the Pacific Northwest, her forces find him. What happens next is a race against time as Morgana’s forces prepare to descend upon the town in which Arthur grew up, and the army of Guinevere rushes to help him.
All the while, the reborn Arthur searches for the missing Excalibur in an attempt to restore magic to the land once again.

A great surprise for .99 cents.
The new take on Arthur and the knights of the round table was really interesting. I did not think I would have liked this book as much as I did. The only aspect I thought was a bit far fetched was how guns (I.e. gun powder) were rendered useless by magic. All the machines run by electricity not working, was believable, but gun powder not so much. Anyway, that's only a minor issue. Clary makes up for it with good storytelling.

Interesting Urban Fantasy take on the Arthur legend. Merlin casts a spell to reawaken Arthur after death when Morgana appears. She casts spell to return Earth to Middle Ages from the present and Arthur and the Knights of the Roundtable must awaken and gather to stop her again. But Arthur is a damaged man in this rendition and the story is about him and his growth back as a King. Looking forward to Book 2

I enjoy reading books that take the Arthurian legend and give it a new spin. This one was hard to put down. The storyline, while set in modern times, is believable and I am rooting for the once and future king to shake off his anger and become the king of legend. Looking forward to reading the next two books.

Entertaining and quick read
I have read just about every book about Camelot I can find.
I really didn't expect much from this one. I was surprised. The twist on Arthur, and each chapter is from the view of different characters interesting.
That along with the action makes it a good, involving read.
