HTML: FROM THE HEART OF BELFAST COMES A TERRORIST THREAT THAT SPELLS DOOM FOR BRITAIN'S ONCE AND FUTURE KING . . . AND THE REST OF US AS WELL What SAS Captain Trevor Stirling doesn't know may kill himâ??along with every man, woman, and child alive. Stirling thinks his mission is simple: follow a terrorist into the year AD 500 to stop a Northern Irish fanatic bent on murder. If the terrorist succeeds in killing Artorius, the Briton Lord of Battle and the most revered icon of British history, before his greatest military victory, the time-space continuum will fracture, destroying the British nation. And, coincidentally, the rest of the world. In a tale where no one is ever quite who or what they seem, hidden enemies and unexpected allies play out a drama of 21st-century terrorism against the backdrop of Arthurian Britain at its darkest hour. One man, alone in time, struggling to save an entire universe from extinction, must choose between duty to his mission and the growing conviction that he should forsake everything he holds dear to follow a higher dutyâ??to risk it all.

Here, Asprin and Evans combine the tale, with historical supposition to weave their intrigue with actual historical events thrown in to give us some meaning, as well as events that are created to seem historical in this telling of later Briton, early Saxon England.
The sharing of hosts though seems very convenient when our true heroes of the tale enter and share the bodies of key people to the time and tale, while the villain enters a non-entity. The ending that tries to tie up some loose ends also leaves a little too pat to one interpretation of the legend trying to make it work becoming forced. But when we take things like that and put them aside and allow our hero to be part Lancelot and part himself, then we have a very fun yarn to take part of. ( )
