About this product

Product Information

This first novel in Jack Whyte's riveting Arthurian series tells how the story of Camelot may have actually come to be. We all know the story--how Arthur pulled the sword from the stone and how Camelot came to be. But how did it really happen? The Roman citizens of Britain faced a deadly choice: leave to live in a corrupt Roman world, or stay amidst the violence of the warring factions of Picts, Celts, and invading Saxons. For Publius Varrus and Caius Britannicus, there is only one answer. They will stay, try to preserve the best of Roman life, and create a new culture from the wreckage. In doing so, they will plant the seeds of a legend. For these two men are Arthur's great-grandfathers and their actions will shape a nation...and forge the sword known as Excalibur.

Skystone a Winner
I'm currently in the 6th book of this series, which places the Arthurian mythos into a realistic, historical context by tracing back the colony's lineage to the Roman occupation of Britain. The Skystone is the first book, written by Jack Whyte, relating the progenitors of the colony, Camulode and the finding of both the colony's pricipals and the meteorite used as the blade-metal for Excalibur. Jack's writing in the first book is good and well thought out, if a little inexperienced. It gets better as you read each consecutive book. I liked many of the concepts behind this series. I also like the historical context as it relates to the need for civilization as the Roman empire collapses in the region. Some of the concepts may be viewed in the movie "King Arthur" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0349683/) but the books go into much more detail - the movie may give you some of the "feel" but little of the substance found in these books (I'm not saying that the movie is based upon the books - I'm only providing a second medium to sample the style of conjecture). -- JohnRead full review

These books, a series of nine, stand alone. Read any one of them and you're hooked.
The first book I read by Jack Whyte was Uther - #7 of 9 in the Camulod Chronicles - and the best book I had read. This first one is just as good and I', looking forward to reading all nine. I wish I'd have made sure it was a hard cover instead of a paperback (for my book case), but that is easily remedied and it's just as good.
