About the Book

THE THRILLING RE-TELLING OF ARTHURIAN LEGEND FROM MASTER OF SCIENCE FICTION AND FANTASY DAVID DRAKE CONTINUES! A young Champion must rescue a friend and battle an enemy at the heart of a chaotic world.

A CHAMPION AT THE DARK HEART OF CHAOS

The universe has shattered into chaos and monsters. Jon the Leader is dedicating his life to reuniting the scattered hamlets into a Commonwealth where all humans can live protected against the darkness and the things that lurk within. But no man can reshape the universe alone. Jon needs Champions to face the powers of chaos, which will not listen to any argument but force.

Lord Pal of Beune is one of those Champions. He has fought monsters and evil on behalf of Mankind, and he will fight them again. But now Guntram, the man who transformed Pal from an ignorant rube into a bulwark of the Commonwealth, has disappeared. Pal must locate his friend and mentor--and then he must battle an entity that may be at the core of the splintered universe!

Praise for The Storm:
"I finished The Storm last night. I loved it. It was such a sweet read. Pal is one of [Drake's] best people, humane and strong and generous, and his voice carries the whole book."--Cecelia Holland

"Counterbalancing the setting's strangeness, Pal himself is thoroughly levelheaded and decent, the kind of hero readers will enjoy rooting for. This is an enjoyable exploration of a pleasantly peculiar world."--Publishers Weekly

". . . a wonderful cast of characters in a fabulous world of courtiers, peasants, Beasts, and mysterious Envoys. Drake has imbued Arthurian legend with a convincing sf spin."--Booklist

About prequel The Spark:

". . . entertaining tale combining the feel of Arthurian legend with nifty far-future super science . . ."--Publishers Weekly

"Drake retells Arthurian legend to perfect effect . . . efficient world building and likable characters."--Booklist

"The fun is in the telling, and Mr. Drake has a strong voice. I want more!"--Philadelphia Weekly Press
