A contemporary take on Arthurian legend set in the near future.
Originally published: United Kingdom : Orbit, an imprint of Little Brown Book Group, 2023.
"An immortal Knight of the Round Table faces his greatest challenge yet-saving the politically polarized, rapidly warming world from itself. Being reborn as an immortal defender of the realm gets awfully damn tiring over the years-or at least that's what Sir Kay's thinking as he claws his way up from beneath the earth, yet again. Kay fought at Hastings, and at Waterloo, and in both World Wars. After a thousand years, he thought he was used to dealing with a crisis. But now he finds himself in a strange new world where oceans have risen, armies have been privatized, and half of Britain's been sold to the Chinese. The dragon that's running amok, that he can handle. The rest? He's not so sure. Luckily, Excalibur lies within reach--and Kay's starting to suspect that the hero fit to carry it is close at hand"-- Provided by publisher.

Hopeful and funny submitted by tuttlium on July 5, 2023, 9:49am Arthurian legends updated for modern times: the consequences of climate change, a more realistic and diverse approach to race, queerness, and the politics of the day. I never imagined that king Arthur imagined as Trump would work as well as it does. Recommend!
