Praise for Jack Whyte and the Camulod series
“Of the scores of novels based on Arthurian legend, Whyte’s ‘Camulod’ series is distinctive, particularly in the rendering of its leading players and the residual Roman influences that survived in Britain during the Dark Ages.”
—The Washington Post
“Whyte has done an excellent job of constructing a viable pre-Arthurian world. His fifth-century Europe is evocative, earthy, and well researched.”
—Romantic Times
“As Whyte waves off the fog of fantasy and legend surrounding the Arthurian story, he renders characters and events real and plausible.”
—Booklist
“Whyte shows why Camulod was such a wonder, demonstrating time and again how persistence, knowledge and empathy can help push back the darkness of ignorance to build a shining future.”
—Publishers Weekly
“Whyte’s story has an undeniable power that goes beyond the borrowed resonances of the mythic tales he’s reworking.” a
—Fantasy & Science Fiction
“A rousing historical adventure, full of hand-to-hand combat, hidden treasures, and last-minute escapes, a refreshing change from the many quasi-historical, politically correct Arthurians out there.”
—Locus on The Skystone
“It’s one of the most interesting historical novels that I’ve ever read and I’ve read plenty.”
—Marion Zimmer Bradley on The Skystone
