This is a well-told spy adventure combining Arthurian legend, fairy folk, Celtic mythology and modern mystery. Tyson has assembled an interesting cast of characters that all seem to fit as you read on. It is a compelling read with plenty of action and daring-do. I am looking forward to the sequel(s).

Gwir yn erbyn byd.
Truth against the world.

Welsh Bardic motto.

Dedication: With thanks to Doris Rodin and Hilary Metcalf Costa – Two superior mentors forty years apart

Preface opening: Bedwyr Abbey, County Powys, Wales, March 2037

At first it was just a dry spell, something that only farmers and weathermen talked about. But the dry spell became a drought and the drought became a disaster and, in less than a decade, Great Britain was surviving on glacier melt that was shipped in from Greenland.

Peter Quince sets off in search of Arthur Redux.

For such a messy, over-peopled whimsy this was surpisingly pleasurable to read because the teller is a natural spinner. Certain things grated:

- info dumping
- translating English nouns into American: pushchair/buggy

2.5* upped to 3*

What a nice surprise this book is! I wasn't sure what to make of this book initially since I was expecting a bit of an Authurian "redux" but this book was not anything like it. I enjoyed the writing, character development, action and mystery this novel invoked. A very unique story that takes place in the near future where our global social, political and planetary environment is at its 'tipping point' and how a mere historian encounters change in all aspects. If you are hoping for a retelling of the Authurian legend and will be upset if its not a retelling then don't pick up this book. However if you want a novel that has lots of action, intrigue, intelligence, magic, myths and more then, by golly, read this book. Fully recommend for most ages.

I won this book via LibraryThing.com member giveaway for a review.
