When Thomas heard the cries for help, he didn’t hesitate to do the right thing. It was his chance for redemption.

Until everything went wrong.

The cave should have been deserted. The perfect place to hide. Instead, it’s crawling with soldiers and engineers working to unearth the impossible:

Excalibur.

Deep beneath the mountain, she’s waited centuries to be found. Not a sword in the stone, but a starship. And according to the onboard AI, Thomas is the only one who can command her.

Now he's on the run across a galaxy more astonishing and treacherous than he ever imagined, where magic and technology intertwine and ancient powers lurk in the shadows. Relentlessly hunted and hopelessly lost, he needs to learn fast if he wants to survive. Only his greatest challenge isn't training to pilot a starship. It's accepting that he, of all people, is responsible for reigniting the hope of a fallen kingdom.

King Arthur’s legend may be complete, but his is just beginning…

The book starts out uninspiring in the first half but delivers by the end. It sets up a great universe that I am eager to explore with the author.

Don’t judge the book on the first few chapters

This book was great. A combo of space travel, a human protagonist, and characters from Camelot and King Arthur lore. As great as the book was, the narrator brought it to life. Every character (especially Merlin and Grenyth) were voiced perfectly. Can’t wait for book two to find out more about Lancelot! Be sure to listen thru the closing credits!

Great audiobook

The MC is a whiny little b*tch and let's Merlin walk all over him and dismiss him.

Frustrating

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Too basic you made a killer into a whiny little kid not believable. I am 45 minutes in and have to stop the audio. Narrator is wasted on this book.

Whines too much

I am not a fan of magic, there are no parameters. With sci-fi, you can create some kind of wondrous material or effect. But it was a good story.
