Search - The Skystone (Camulod Chronicles, Bk 1)

Heavy on military details. A completely different take on the King Arthur legend.

So Arthur pulled the Sword from the stone. And Camelot came to be. This the story of the time before that. The time where the pre conditions were formed that resulted in Camelot. Very enjoyable.

Very entertaining, likeable characters...one of the best books I've read in a long time!

I found the history of the Romans at the end of their occupation of 400 years interesting. Whyte uses extensive historical notes to underpin this novel. The characters, however, are fairly dull, and the women are pure cardboard. The female characters exist purely for the men's sexual needs, ruining what might otherwise be a great historical series.

I really enjoyed this first book of the Camulod Chronicles. Knowing the basics of the King Arthur stories, I found it interesting to see how some of the 'future' ledge is ribboned through this story. The characters and storyline is interestingly developed. I am looking forward to reading more of this series.

I can't really say that I liked it or didn't. I never got past the 5 th page.
